Escapes from side control

Frame up the arms, hip up (get all the way up on toes), turn JUST ENOUGH to get your knee on opponent's hip. Do not do a huge shrimp-out. Square up and grab opponent's sleeve cuffs. You now have one leg straight and one leg with the shin folded (knee out) across opponent's belly. Try to trap opponent's ankle with your straight leg (you may need to pull hir forward onto your chest a bit to accomplish this). Now hip out just enough to extricate your folded leg and catch closed guard.


---------

You are in bottom side control. Use your foot to catch opponent's near ankle. S/he will likely switch to scarf. As s/he does this, you push hir cheek away, walk your hips/feet **WAY** out, lift your feet and catch the head, sit up. Now you are in scarf (on top!)


-----------


You are in bottom side control. Use the hand nearest the opponent to grab hir pants. Use your other elbow to push on the face. Crank opponent back as far as you can, then bridge violently and throw your feet over to the other side of hir body. Belly down. Now you are in top side control.


-----------
You are in bottom side control. Frame up, hip out a bit, use your *matward* knee  to push opponent's knee back. Now it is easier for you to trap hir foot with your ceilingward foot and pull it out. Pull it far enough to crank hir hips a bit to the side. Now you should have room to replace full guard.


-----------------
You are in bottom side control. Frame up, hip out a bit, keep elbow braced on opponent's shoulder as you windshield-wiper the forearm under hir armpit. S/he whizzers. You grab under the butt and hoist hir forward, as you turn belly-down and get to your knees. Keep your head down to the mat.

Pull opponent's near shin out and scoot so that you are kneeling behind it. If your arm is still trapped, you can limp it out at this time. Note that at no time do you want your arm across/over opponent's back.

---------------------
Bottom side control. Frame up, bridge, keep top elbow braced while you rotate JUST THE FOREARM under opponent's armpit. Shrug that arm above your head hard, squirt out the side and take the back or hang off the turtle.

---------------------
Bottom side control, opponent is holding your pants at the hip. Frame up, bridge shrimp, get knee in and use it to scrape the hand off your pants. then proceed as in previous sequence.
---------------------
You are under side mount. Bump up and frame your arms. "Talk on your phone" with the hand nearest opponent. Then turn into hir. At the same time, use your "phone" hand to control hir bicep. Continue turning till you are on your belly. (Note that this is *not* a hip escape/shrimp.)
With the hand that is *not* controlling opponent's bicep, keep the elbow braced on hir. Allowing this elbow to move or collapse is what lets the opponent dump all hir weight back on you and squash you back under side control. Once you are fully belly-down, move *JUST THE FOREARM* to get the underhook. Again, keep that elbow in there.  Now you can get your knees under you. That all-important bicep grip (you've still got it, right?) will now let you yank opponent with the perfect leverage to help you dump hir over and get on top.  The sequence) is "Up, Phone, Arm, Turn, Under."

---------------------
You are under side mount. Bump up and frame your arms. "Talk on your phone" with the hand nearest opponent. Then turn into hir. At the same time, use your "phone" hand to control hir bicep. Continue turning till you are on your belly. (Note that this is *not* a hip escape/shrimp.) As soon as you turn into opponent, s/he tries to slide into scarf position.
The key for you now is to get your matward elbow fully underneath your body as you are lying on your side. As soon as your foe's knee comes at you, grab the pants there and do that same roll onto your belly. You now have the pants in one hand and the shoulder/lapel in the other. Stretch opponent out. This will shove hir onto hir back. Resist the impulse to get to your knees too soon- the technique is actually tighter and more effective if you keep your belly *ON* the mat till you secure side mount. Now you can get to your knees.
