BRIDGE & ROLL ESCAPE
Okay, we are going to work on this mount escapes. The first we are going to work on is called the Bridge and Roll. Now the mount is a very threatening position like we talked about, and if you are the one who is underneath the mount, you need to get out of there pretty quickly. We are going to work on some of the different ways on how you can do that, okay.
So if you found yourself in mount, your opponent has mounted, we need to attack his table. If you are thinking him as a table, we need to take out one side of the legs, alright? Now there are a couple ways to do that, we are going to work on some ways to bring our opponent down to us, so then we can start attacking him, but one of the obvious ways, is to bring our feet close to our butt. We will show this in multiple angles, and to push up with our hips, that forces him down.
Now when he does this, I like to swing over and grab my opponent's arm. When I do this, when you are practicing this, make sure your opponent turns this hand up underneath you, okay? That's very important, and you will see why, in just a second, if you don't do that, you can hurt your opponent's wrist, but make sure your training partner does that, alright?
So you've got good base, and we bumped you, we got you down, we swum over, wrap this arm, we are going to hug this, okay? I am going to step this foot over, the outside foot. Again, we are going to show this in a couple of angles, but I stepped over and trapped him. This other leg comes out, and that's what I am going to use to push up with.
This hand, my free hand, I like to put it on his sternum or just under his armpit, when I do that, I am going to push, with that arm I am just going to push him straight up towards the ceiling. I am going to push with my leg. I am just going to make a bridge, and I am going to roll over into my opponent's guard, make sure that he turns his hand.
So over here, I just push up, I go over my shoulder, okay? I am not going directly beside me, and I am not going directly over my head, I am going to go over my shoulder, okay? One more time, we are here, I bump my opponent down here. I swim over his arm and hug him. I like to reach over, grab, I push up, bridge and roll over my shoulder into my opponent's guard, okay?
Other side, we are here, I bridge, swim over, hug that arm, I trap this foot, this one comes down to base, this one I pushed my opponent over with. Push up over my shoulder, over into the guard. With different angle, over here, I am going to be rolling towards the camera.
So when I am here, I like to bridge, get my opponent down, I swim over, and hug the arm. When I do that, I am stepping out with this foot over his leg, I am not stepping out here, because if I do that, he is just going to throw his leg out once I bridge and he is going to stop to roll.
Okay, I go up here. This has now attacked this side of the table. So there's nothing trying to base that with. This arm, underneath his armpit, this foot is what I bridge with. I am not going straight over. I am going over at an angle. I bridge and roll, bridge and roll, over into my opponent's guard.
Same angle, going the other way, I bump my opponent, there are a couple ways you can do that. You can bridge, you can just throw one knee, and get him down. However you need to do it, that's fine, just get him down on your level, so that you can attack this arm. You swim over it, you are grabbing your opponent's back. You are hugging this arm, that way he can't step out.
Trap the foot, this foot comes out, this hand goes into his armpit or on his chest, or however you want to do it. I am going to bridge and roll over my shoulder and go, here, over into my opponent's guard. That's your bridge and roll escape, alright? One last angle, we are here, I get my opponent down, swim over this arm, I like to pin to his body, step over and trap this foot.
This one is going to be the bridge, this hand going to come under, that's what pushes him. I am going to go over my shoulder, alright? All in one motion, bridge and roll, over into my opponent's guard. Going the other way, here, I bump my opponent, swing the arm, trap the leg. This hand and this foot will make the bridge and roll. I bridge over my shoulder, into my opponent's guard. That's your bridge and roll escape from the mount position.
