Fundamental Movements | Shrimping Drills

Shrimping Drills to improve bottom game movement:

1. Start with both legs flexed and elbows in as a frame. Turn sideways on your shoulder, keeping toes on the floor (not heels) for movement. Alternate one knee up, one knee down as you slide your hips from side to side.
2. Next, combine hip movement with a chest or shoulder escape. Move your hips first, then push your chest away while posting on your elbow. Stay sideways throughout the movement.
3. Combine three exercises: hip escape, chest escape, and use your elbow to sit up into the sit-up escape. Post your elbow, then your hand with fingers pointing behind you, ensuring good posture. One knee should be up, one down.
4. From the sit-up position, perform a butt scoot to the side corresponding to the knee that's up. Slide your hip, do one or two scoots, then return flat to the floor.
5. Repeat the sequence on the other side, maintaining the same posture and hand positioning.
6. Integrate these movements with a technical stand-up. After the butt scoot, bring your legs back, lift your hips, and stand up in base.
7. Alternatively, instead of standing up in base, you can place your knee on the floor, sit through, and return to the starting position.
8. Practice the full sequence of drills back and forth to enhance fluidity and coordination.
