Chapter: | Defense against Side Control |
Move: | Escape from Kata Gatame |
Your opponent has applied Kata Gatame. |
Instantly bring your legs in the air over you. |
Grab underneath your near knee with the arm that he has trapped. |
Clasp your hands together and fall to you far side. This will take his leverage away and take pressure off of your throat. |
Now bridge straight up in the air with your hips as you straighten your trapped arm over your head. |
Start to bridge toward your opponent so that you can create space to free the trapped arm. |
Grab around your opponent's head so that he cannot re-apply the hold. Enjoy! |
