Trap and Roll Escape
Click here to view lesson at gracieuniveristy.com
In a real fight, the goal is to achieve the top position once the fight goes to the ground; the problem is that things don’t always go according to plan. Against a larger attacker, you are likely to end up on the bottom of the mount position which is the single worst place to be in a fight. From this position, the top person can strike or strangle you at will and you cannot effectively strike back. The worst part about trying to escape the mount without an effective strategy is the panic you experience and the extreme exhaustion it will inevitably cause.

The Trap and Roll Escape is a simple, reliable way to remove your opponent from atop of you. In this lesson you will learn three variations of the Trap and Roll starting with the Standard Variation.

Leg Hook Takedown
Click here to view lesson at gracieuniveristy.com

Your goal in any one-on-one physical altercation should be avoid dangerous punches while standing, and then get the fight to the ground where you can more effectively control and defeat your opponent. The safest place to be in a fight, while standing, is in a clinch. From the clinch, your opponent’s striking power is almost entirely eliminated. You will learn how to close the distance and establish the clinch in a future lesson. In this lesson, we will teach you how to take the opponent down once you get there.

Class 13 - Shrimp Escape (Block & Shoot | Shrimp & Shoot | Rider)

If the opponent is in your guard, the goal is to subdue him or get back to your feet. If he gets past your legs and approaches the side mount, all efforts should be dedicated to getting him back inside your guard. In this lesson, we will discuss three reliable methods for reestablishing the guard when the attacker gets around our legs, starting with the Block and Shoot Variation.

Class 2 - Americana Armlock - Mount | Clinch (Aggressive Opponent)

 

Clinch (Aggressive Opponent)

Click here to view lesson at gracieuniversity.com
Most martial arts rely heavily on the use of strikes to defeat the opponent. This strategy may work against a smaller opponent but is very risky against a larger, more athletic opponent who could just as easily knock you out every time you put yourself in range to strike them. The best strategy is to establish a clinch and take the fight to the ground where you can preserve energy, neutralize punches, and win the fight with ease. The key to establishing a clinch on an aggressive opponent is to understand that there are two safe distances in a fight: all the way out or all the way in.

Americana Armlock - Mount

Click here to view lesson at gracieuniversity.com
The goal in the fight is to achieve the mount, exhaust your opponent, and then win the fight. Punching your opponent from the mount can be effective but is exhausting, risks your balance, and could injure your opponent more seriously than desired. We prefer to use leverage-based submissions instead so that we can maintain better control of our opponent and save energy. The Americana Armlock is a highly effective submission that can be used with minimal effort to defeat a larger opponent. First, you will learn the Basic Application and then two variations that could be used in combat.

Class 3 - Positional Control - Mount | Body Fold Takedown

 

Positional Control (Mount)

Click here to view lesson at gracieuniversity.com
The mount is the most dominant position in a fight because it enables you to win the fight in a variety of ways while depleting your opponent’s energy. You must understand, however, that as soon as you achieve the mount, your opponent will do everything in his power to get you off of them. In this lesson you will learn how to control and exhaust a larger stronger opponent from the mount. First, you will learn how to apply effective hip pressure, and then you will see how to neutralize the most common escape attempts you can expect from an untrained opponent in a real fight.

Body Fold Takedown

Click here to view lesson at gracieuniversity.com
Instead of exchanging punches with a larger opponent, we recommend that you establish the clinch and take them to the ground where you can exhaust and submit them. Once you establish the clinch, there is a good chance that they will get desperate and try to hit you in the face. In doing so, they will lean back and unknowingly create the perfect opportunity for the Body Fold Takedown.

Class 2 - Standard Wrist Releases (3 variations) | Trap & Roll Releases (3, 4 & 5)

A perpetrator will often grab a woman by the wrists to detain, neutralize, isolate, or demean her. In this lesson, we teach you how to use leverage or "alavanca" to break the attacker's grip, regardless of their size or strength. We will discuss three different grip configurations, starting with Standard Grip (1-on-1). Being trapped beneath someone is a nightmarish experience potentially leading to panic, suffocation, exhaustion, and eventual submission. In this lesson, we teach you a highly effective technique called the Trap and Roll Escape, broken down into five different variations based on how the attacker is controlling you.
