Escaping Back Mount Recap

[tallgeese]

In an effort to continue to share our efforts here in the Chicago-land area with the group here at KF I give you our latest week's work:

This week we worked on escaping the back mount. We did a pretty large series from here, but this movement really captures most of the movements and concerns that need to be addressed.

I know lots of people use a "stacking" method to escape, and I think those are fine. This is my preference based on keeping my hips in connection with the mat. By getting hips over him, you do create pressure but lose some stability.

How about everyone else? Driving the hips down, or pressing up?

Alex, another fine tutorial; right to the heart of the matter!!

Driving the hips or pressing down?

Again, I find myself repeating my answer to your question(s)...

It depends on the situation at the very moment; both can be advantageous per the very moment at hand, imho!!
