Escaping a Kneebar

[soul fighter]

Hey, I need help escaping a kneebar.

 

Are there any diagrams that show it?

Roll and bend, roll and bend. The most effective 'quick' defense against a knee bar (regardless of how it is done) is motion and, oddly enough, rolling up into a ball... of sorts. Of course, such actions do expose you to other dangers.

 

Above that, are the various 'specific' actions you could take to prevent it, such as reversals (counter- knee bar, toe and ankle torques, biting), or grabbing your own ankle and forcing it to bend, while pushing your knee into their solar-plexus and bouncing.

 

Really, bacause a knee bar can be done a multitude of ways, there truly is no one magic trick... other than possibly learning to improvise, adapt, overcome.

Just curious.....are you still in the kneebar or did you get out of it already???

What I heard from another forum was to push off their butts and get my knee away, since they can't apply pressure to my shin

 

Then just roll out.

If they're going for a kneebar on your right knee, hook your right ankle behind your left knee (like a triangle). You're now susceptible to a knee-wrench, but at least you've escaped the knee-bar.

CAREFUL sometimes its just better to tap, the knee is very fragile, it could pop with the slightest degree of pressure.
