I'm a beginner and tried this in practice. It worked beautifully. Now I have two mount escapes. I just came back to give props and thanks.
You still train?
@@jamesalafayette8255 I think he died ._.
Rip bro. You were one of the best at escaping mounts. Even in bed 😔😔 truly a loss to the universe
I'm alive and still training! The replies were going to my junk mail. I now have three mount escapes! ;)
@@jamesalafayette8255 yes!
I am going to go out on a limb here and swallow all male ego and say that Emily Kwok is one of the BEST jiujitsu teachers around. amazing detail
I was trying to find her name, thanks so much for mentioning it!!
That's the thing, teaching is a much harder yet much more important thing to do, as it doesn't necessarily require someone to be ABLE to do something, it requires them to understand and explain thoroughly the thing they are discussing, which requires a much deeper level of understanding than just knowing how to do it
Respectfully - smaller people tend to have near perfect technique as they are less able to rely on strength that larger people often use.
@@humptydumpty5763 yes, and having to be nearly perfect isn't exactly an advantage , so all the more credit to Emily.
Emily - Jess here. I'm pretty sure we met at an MMA expo in New York a few years back. At any rate... I taught at the UFC Gym for awhile. At the time Alexander Crispim was the head instructor there, and I learned a really cool technique from him that incorporates the same foot scoop for taking the back . Unfortunately, we live a bazillion miles away from one another, but if our paths should ever happen to wind up crossing again, remind me and I'll show it to you.
Excellent vid by the way.

As a guy who weighs 145 I always had the hardest time escaping mount with most of the guys in my gym who were all 170-200 at least. A friend showed me this technique and I absolutely love it. It's an incredibly deceptive way to achieve half guard if you are keeping their arms tied up with yours. You can work independently of your arms and use this technique. Great for nogi.
Thank you so so much Emily and Stephan. I was always stumped when the big guys mounted me. And being the smallest in my gym I was completely screwed. Now this little tip has changed the game completely. Today I refused to submit and kept going into half guard at least. With a little more practice I will go for the sweep and reverse positions. Thank you so, so much. I had Stephans book from the Kindle store and will always look for more stuff on small people bettering bigger people.
Hey Stephan and Emily, I'm a less-than-a-month-old white belt and I stumbled upon your videos and seen this mount escape but never had the chance to use it until now. Today I rolled with another 2 white belts who were months ahead of me and physically larger than me (I'm a puny 5'4 63kg). Aim was to start mounted, person on top would try for a submission, guy on bottom would defend the submission or escape full mount then reset. I didn't have enough knowledge/experience to pull off any submissions properly, but with this one mount escape (which I've never practiced), I managed to escape their mounts repeatedly or keep them busy enough to avoid getting submitted at all. A tiny accomplishment, but I just wanna thank you guys for sharing your knowledge with us. Truly appreciate it.
Btw, I bought and downloaded a couple of your apps and I find them extremely valuable, especially as a newbie to the ground game. Keep it up and keep em coming!
nasri me and you both being small people (5'4 62kg) how frequently do you injure your fingers/hands. Or injuries in general
Bush Ninja as in i gota gain weight if i wanna be able to handle bjj? i feel like 70kg would be sufficient. But ye im naturally 45kg but through gym i was able to put on 20kgs then cut 5kg.
Bush Ninja im 20, spent 2 years putting on the mass. im currently sitting at 15% bf at 62kg. Doubt ill be growing in anymore height.
+chrisXDfull Injuries happen to everyone, regardless of size/mass. Focus on the training and eat right. You don't need more mass for bjj. It will seem harder at first if you're rolling with larger opponents, but that will force you to get especially technical and tactical. I've been taught by instructors smaller in frame than myself and I've also been taught by 2m tall giants (to me, at least). And my experience has been that people with smaller frames will be particularly aware of small details in technique. Don't get me wrong, you still need some strength, but average joe strength is enough to start with because as time goes by you'll get stronger naturally.
nasri ah thankyou for your insight.
Great, I love it, my Instructor teaches it the exact same way. Thanks for sharing, I love Stephan's methods, he makes it more effective and I appreciate what you are doing.
I've used this escape many times, and the only time it has failed me is when I rolled to far onto my side. Excellent instruction and illustration. Thank you!
Once i saw the title of this video, i felt that sudden urge of relief......
Every time I watch this video, I see a little more detail. Awesome video.
Thanks for the vids Stephan really helpful, you were gone for a while glad to have you back & posting. -Kind Regards-
Thankyou Stephan and Emily, i struggle with the technical details of jitsu sometimes, i had a brain anuresym 2 years ago , but i dont let that stop me , keep going i think , i reall enjoyed your patience vid Emily
i've used this escape so many times! simple and works almost every time! even against the largest opponents! great technique indeed!
I can honestly say this is my favorite escape from mount. Especially if you start, instead of just pushing on the knee after you've snagged the foot, swivel your hips under his leg, you can still escape to half guard without necessarily using your hands, or at least not for long.
thanks for the video, I'm currently a white belt and having trouble getting out from full mount. I'm gonna practice this tomorrow on my drills.
The past few weeks I was getting my back taken way too often when I attempted to do the knee elbow escape. This subtle tip of only slightly turning as to not expose the back should be really helpful. Thanks!
Been using this since I started and seen this video,had to come back to it so I dont miss any good details before trying to teach it. Been my number 1 escape ever since seeing this 8ish years ago
daaannng!!! i love it when you know a move and you still learn new details bout it! thumbs up!
This has been my favorite mount escape for years. It works on everyone, no matter how big they are. It works on black belts, if you use it in combination with other escapes which prevents them from attacking your neck while your arms are at their hips.
So going training in about an hour, going to be using this when it's time to roll. I'm forever defending submissions and trying to escape.
Awesome work Emily!
Very good technical escape, never thought about it. Great stuff.
They just taught this at my gym and I’m bummed because it’s been my favorite escape ever since watching this!
It seems so simple!
I can’t wait to try it Saturday.
I weigh 220 lbs and I still need this lesson.
well... i don't know how common it is at your gym... but i go to a big gym in NYC and i'm one of the smaller guys around at 220....
i frequently have to roll with 270 280 lb guys and it sucks
Thank you, that slight detail is what I needed because when mounted, bjj practioners alway tuck their feet under which makes it even harder to escape.
I used this today while rolling with a fairly larger person, and this technique worked like a charm :D, thanks for the showing me.
This helps. Thank you!! I'm 5' 2" and 115 lbs. EVERYONE is bigger and heavier than me. Learning to move myself when I can't move my opponent makes a big difference.
emily is so down to earth and definitelly knows whats up with jiu jitsu and brings a very easy to learn aspect to teaching jiu jitsu..not to mention..shes beautiful. i could watch her instructional videos all day. LOL but for real, she knows what she's doing, thanks for the video emily.. and stephan
Love this sweep! Thank you so much this works wonders and is very hard to stop
Love How You Stayed Focused On The Leg Instead Of The Arm Since Sometimes People Expect The Arm Grab Or Are Much Faster And Stronger, So It Works Great 👍.
It's useless if i'm sitting on your belly or i'd just sit on your chest full weight and there is no way to escape from that
I was practicing this on my livingroom floor at midnight lol will try it this week at club
Thank you very much for posting this helpful video. I'm just a white belt and getting worked a lot during training by larger and faster opponents. I will definitely give this a try. Much appreciated.
Second mount escape I ever learned. Great technique.
Thanks for posting. As a beginner in BJJ, I always find myself in the mounted position. Guys are just bigger and stronger than me. I'll definitely try this technique, once again great instructions.
Wow this looks slick will have to try this
Thanks for sharing! I am currently struggling getting of the guard. Will definitely try it today! Oss!
This is my go to mount escape.
Thanks for the video, I can use this if I ever get into a fight again. To me its better to know how to defend yourself even if you don't get into a fight, rather than not know how to defend yourself when getting into one. A lot of things in life happen unexpectedly including fights, and I'd rather be ready for it, if and when it happens, than be caught off guard and get beat up. Getting beat up sucks!
Great explanation of this technique!
I found this one out myself and it's incredibly useful.
Thank you so much! You guys are so awesome!
Very well explained. Thank you SO MUCH
Bought the Android app because of this. Very enjoyable watch.
Excellent details. Thank you!
I really like the tune that plays at the beginning and the end haha
Thank you Emily! I kept giving my back trying to escape
I needed this two weeks ago when I couldn't get a 215lb-er off me. Gonna train at home with the wife and kiddos, and hopefully establish some muscle memory.
Thank Emily & Stephan.
Dont know who this amazing women was, but what a good teacher. Keep posting Ms.
Fantastic. Thanks much for the video!
Holy crap this is exactly what my coach taught to me, I just forgot some details, thanks for this.
This was super helpful, thank you :)
THANK YOU...OMG JUST THANK YOU! The STRUGGLE IS SO REAL!!! I'm like 5'11" 200 lbs and I'm not small but the guys I train with are like 6'3" to 6'5" and 250-280 lbs and I'm always in trouble :( This will help a lot
This explanation and demonstration is the equivalent of Aikido demonstrations and throws. Neither is effective when someone is punching you, but both are effective in telling you how to move.
I hope one day the ego from both sides of the Martial Arts spectrum subside and they can learn from each other.
Cool Demo.
Thank you that's really technical.
I was crushed today by a bigger opponent. I will try to utilize this in the future, thanks!
Great move, I have used it during sparring.. however, your face is exposed to vicious elbows and other strikes. Thanks for sharing.
Great video by the way.
Im 168lbs (5 mos bjj) and i tried this on my 230lb partner and it worked. Not as fast as she did but i was able to escape. Thank you.
This woman is amazing. Great stuff. Great explanation. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Cheers this really helped I'm 13 an it helped me when training and rolling with the adults seeing as their is no other kid in my class👍🏻
It does work in MMA. I was originally shown this by Dan Swift George Gurgel Brown Belt and veteran of over 50 MMA fights. Jason Dent (of Ultimate Fighter Fame) uses this escape all the time in MMA fights. You end up eating a punch or two, but it is the most effective way to escape mount.
She’s such an amazing instructor
Keep in mind that this technique is designed to be used when rolling against guys who actually know jiu-jitsu. I actually use this in class, but if you are in a street fight and punches are involved, this shouldn't be your first line of defense. This technique could be used in a street fight if used as part of a combo, but the truth of the matter is that against most people who haven't trained jiu-jitsu, you probably wouldn't even need such a complex technique. Bridging, hand trapping, and basic elbow escapes should be enough.
+Michael Hiller hopefully. Do you have any other ideas that might be a little more street applicable if the trap and roll doesn't work? Thanks man!
I'd assume in a street fight, by the time they've mounted you, and you're on your back, you are taking hits to the head like its raining buckets, and you're a goner. How to survive street fights? Don't let them take you to the ground.
Nizz 0matic if you happen to end up in a mounted position, you should be able to escape, since that is a major element of bjj-essentially speaking.
David K
I'm talking about a street fight not BJJ sport competition dude. They dont sit there trying to arm bar you, they punch your head and face in for 10 minutes.
Nizz 0matic I hear you. Bjj originally was created for street situations, not tourney so I'm sure if you mounted non tourney bjj practitioner, he would be able to escape a street fighters mount. Get me?
This is a VERY effective move!
so slick, I'm trying this tonight
beautiful art
Just yesterday, in 6 minutes, I managed to Armbar, Triangle, and Kimura an untrained man much larger and stronger than me under the training of Behring Jiu Jitsu. I've only been training since December. It's a fine art. One of the best in the world.
yeah i get your point, some MMA wrestlers are amazing grapplers, im just saying that sometimes you don't have enough time or breath to do this escape properly, i'd rather bump my hips and throw the guy aside than do all this steps with high chances of lost my breath completely in the process, but then again, is all up to you and your JJ style.
God bless you man, this saved my life
Very practical. . . .Thank you.
Oh boy. Can't use this in class yet but great to have in repertoire.
Nice. This gave me a eureka moment: For a street application, just wrap your arms around the body and protect the head while doing this escape.
i love this technique it works everytime.
BJJ is just fun to practice and come with stuff that works. I love watching your videos. I get to learn stuff.
Beautiful technique
i agree. moving to position yourself or taking the initiative so that you only have to fight one at a time is key.
Defs helpful. Approx 90% of the peeps at the place i train are at least 2 weight classes above me.
Ain't that a bitch? I know how you feel bro...
Im a big guy... 6'2, 220 lbs.. Thought I would have an advantage at my gym.... turns out my gym is where giants go to train BJJ. lol. we have like 4 different 300lbers here. Its brutal.
Or you can simply not use your strength even though it is a temptation and only work your technical abilities. That makes it way more fun to train with you and you'll develop your technique.
Take the right leg and drop it over the attackers left ankle. If he's on the ball of his foot (it isn't flat) you can damage the ankle immediately. Use that point of leverage to roll hard to the right shoulder and push him over. Simple. The technique doesn't work as well if the person is well up towards your neck, but if you can get the back on your thigh on his ankle, you've got him! Go for it!
That is slick!!!!! Pretty safe for mma too! This is better then a standard shrimp, can't believe I never learned it before. Thanks
Very good at explaining
Thanks for the nice video
Good vid, and strong intro-outro music, what is that by the way?
liked the way you showed the move in real time.
nice! thanks for showing
nice video, this girl is awesome. Congratulations
She is a total beast
This would work great for the smaller person!! thanks for the tip. ..
Going to try this today in class.
Looks good. I'll probably have to use it in about fifteen minutes in class!
This definitely works. I'm a small guy, usually rolling with guys 30lbs+ heavier than me. I actually do it with my normal shrimp escape if I don't/can't seem to shrimp enough to get my leg fully out.
her voice is amazing
Brilliant
Damn, if I knew all of these techniques would be on RUclips, I wouldn't have purchased the DVDs.
like the large # of vids keep them coming. very helpful.
This move has worked great for me in BJJ, and I can definitely see it working in a self-defense situation, too, if you're quick about it. As far as MMA, I'd use this technique as a last resort. Anyway, one thing I've noticed about this escape is that (in my experience) it only works if the person has a low mount. If they're sitting higher up on your chest, you probably will have a lot of trouble trapping your opponent's foot (as I have). Good thing to practice, but have a plan B!
@lochn For self defense purposes, the majority of people you run into in a street situation do NOT train in any ground fighting techniques, or take the time to learn them (even to this day). So the traditional Gracie hip-bump escape is probably the best for that as it allows you to immediately wrap up either their neck, arms, or chest and pull them to you to prevent hits. Iv'e experimented around with it, and there is another if that one fails which works well off of it.
Really helpful. Just got dominated by my instructor the other day(big dude, has like 50 ibs on me and i'm big). Will definitely help
Whenever I start teaching a new class, the first thing I do is have everyone do sprints. After I while, I ask if anyone can tell me why we did them. The answers vary quite a bit, but I have only had one student ever get it right. I explain that unless you are forced to defend someone else, then running is almost always your best bet. Avoiding physical conflict is the only sure way of staying healthy...and out of trouble with the police. This escape is pure gold... then run! LOL!
any skill you use can be shut down if you are waiting for it, that is why it is good to know so many different varieties of escapes.
I end up on my back alot as a beginner and i have never had an opponet yet that sits up on me like that in mount.. they are usually laying on top of me... :( with all their weight. i do try to frame the hip out and push them back as i try to bridge and hip escape.... this is good to see thanks for posting it :)
Just brilliant
