ESTABLISH GUARD (SIDE MOUNT)
We are going to work on two ways to escape this side mount. The first way we are going to be working on is called establishing the guard, getting your guard back. So our opponent is in side control, but one of the things we are going to had to do is we are going to have to use this arm, then we are going to have to put our elbow on his hips, that is what we are going to use to create space.
Notice I am stacking my legs, with my knee touching his rib that makes a little bit harder for him to just jump over to mount. I am going to block that, we got a good control here, keeping him enclose or I can cross face him and push him away from me which is the way I am trying to do. This elbow comes in right here in this gap and I force my forearm on his hip.
Notice that I am not weighing here, notice that I am not out here, I am about half way, I can build my arm over his hip if I need to. Well my forearm is posted on his hip. Now what I am going to do from here to reestablish the guard, I always have to create space from this position to escape, always. So I use this shoulder and this foot to push up. I am going to just reach this hand up towards the ceiling.
So I am here, I am going to push up with this hand, I am just keeping his hips away, that is going to give me all the space that I need for this back leg which is stacked right now, that knee is already in tortured position to come in and I just want to touch my knee to my elbow, that is going to keep him away from me. he can't get any closer to me, okay.
So we are here, I have got a stack, I give him a good bump and I push out with this arm, so we are here, boom, this elbow is in, it is touching my knee, okay. My knee is literally touching my elbow across it, that is going to keep him at least this far away from me, that is the space that I need to continue working.
So we are here, this elbow comes in, this leg is stacked, I bump him straight up, I bump and pull in. As I do that I like to use this hand to push over into the guard here, I just keep using my leg, my hand, to keep bumping around, until I have established the guard position.
One more time, this leg is stacked, this elbow is down on the hips, I bump with the shoulder, I bump with the forearm, knee touches the elbow and I use that to push all the way into the guard, okay. So, we do that from a different angle, I have his leg stacked, this foot is on the ground, that is where we are going to use the bridge, this elbow comes in and creates space.
I am going to bridge and push up with this arm, pulling this leg in, notice how it goes from right here, it just going to go right in this gap, with a right created space. So I am here, I bump create space, now I just pull it all the way over to a guard position. One more time, we are here, elbow comes in, legs are stacked, I push up create space, need the elbow to come in, into the guard. This one is escape from the side mount, it is called establishing the guard or getting the guard back.
