Every BJJ White Belt Must Know These 3 Mount ESCAPES (by 2x World Champ Adam Wardzinski)

Overview

Two-time world champion Adam Wardzinski demonstrates three fundamental mount escapes designed for practitioners from white belt to black belt. The video emphasizes chaining escapes rather than relying on single moves. Wardzinski details a diagonal bridge to recover guard, a hip frame to side-step into half-guard, and a hip-push with active hooks to return to butterfly guard. The core philosophy focuses on using hip pressure and gravity to neutralize the top player's control.
