Linking 4 different side control escapes (Lachlan Giles)

Overview

Lachlan Giles demonstrates a linked chain of four side control escapes designed to adapt to an opponent’s reactions. The sequence begins with an elbow-roll entry when hips are controlled, transitions to an arm-track counter against a swinging arm, utilizes a chin frame with leg extension against tight hip control, and finishes with a north-south chase. Giles emphasizes progressive resistance drilling to build reliable escape chains for live sparring.
