Kipping Escape: Defend the Americana into the Heelhook (No Gi BJJ/Jiu-Jitsu)

Defend Americana with the Kipping Escape: you don’t see the traditional keylock (aka the "Americana") from the mounted position too often after a certain level, but it’s very important to understand the basic defense so you can avoid the submission when it comes around. We take it to the next level here by following up with an entry into the legs using ashi-garami and a kipping escape. The main component of the defense - bridging and retracting the elbow - also leads right into a misalignment between you and the person on top. From there, the kip is a great option to get things moving in your favor once again.

Very nice. This is exactly what I was looking for defense leading to submission. How about Kimura? Same mechanics? Hope you can show more basic Americana/Kimura defense for dummies.

Hi Coach, is it a good idea to Upa once you have defended the Americana, as it seems that technique would be available right there for the taking?

[@bzglick]

You can - if you can trap the arm 👍🏼
