Overview

Roy Dean demonstrates three fundamental sidemount escape variations for blue belts. He emphasizes establishing posture to lift the opponent's chest, creating space through hip movement and shin insertion, and using momentum to return to closed guard. The video covers standard escapes, directional variations to avoid being stuck, and techniques for when the opponent is not fully committed to the position.
