S I D E C O N T R O L - Three simple side control escape techniques useful for every BJJ level. 💪🥋

Overview

This video breaks down three side control escapes based on the opponent's pressure height: high (face), mid (chest), and low (hips). The instructor emphasizes that side control is dynamic, not static, and demonstrates specific framing mechanics to create space. Key technical details include using the elbow as an unbreakable structure against wrist pressure and using the opponent's forward momentum to reverse their weight before escaping.
