About this video

Counter the opponent's resistance during a suicide roll when stuck in half guard:

  1. Maintain a hook on the opponent's leg and frame or control their knee with your hand, preferring the frame for better control.
  2. Keep the underhook to pull the opponent back towards you.
  3. Execute a reverse hip escape by pulling your hips under the opponent, aiming to apply pressure on their knee.
  4. Ensure your right leg is tightly hooking their foot and use your left foot to post on the floor.
  5. Continue the reverse hip escape, moving your hips to lift the opponent's knee off the mat and flattening yourself underneath them.
  6. As you torque the opponent's knee with the reverse hip escape, their balance is compromised, allowing you to continue until you can come up on your other hip.
  7. Once the opponent's balance is broken and their butt hits the floor, you can come up and start working to pass their guard.

Practice the reverse hip escape as a warm-up drill to familiarize yourself with the movement, ensuring you can apply it effectively during live rolling.
