About this video

When struggling to get the knee to the outside due to an opponent's defense, it's essential to create space to enable the knee to move. This can be achieved by peeling the near knee up towards the chest, which creates a gap allowing the knee to rotate freely. Once the gap is created, point the toes and perform a heel slip to escape.

  1. Recognize the difficulty in getting the knee outside when the opponent is preventing the mechanic.
  2. Use any part of the opponent's body to help create the necessary space for knee movement. This includes grabbing the hands, head, or knee.
  3. Peel the opponent's near knee towards the chest to create a gap for your knee to move through.
  4. Once the gap is created, ensure your knee is free to rotate.
  5. Point your toes and execute a heel slip to complete the escape.
  6. If the opponent's knee is particularly strong or resistant, consider climbing up to grab their arm to assist in creating space.
  7. Always focus on the primary objective of getting the knee outside, using whatever means necessary to achieve this position.
