Tips for all positions:

• Keep your elbows tucked in tight
• Push with the elbow and forearm, not the hand
• Turn towards your opponent, not away
• Try the bridge escape when your hips are close to your opponent's hips
• Try the shrimp escape when there is space to scoot your hips out
• Bridging sets up the shrimp escape; shrimping sets up the bridge escape

List of dominant positions:

• Mount
• Side control
• North/south
• Scarfhold

Static drilling:

• From each position, teach and drill both the bridge escape and shrimp escape

Dynamic drilling:

• One partner establishes and holds the pin; other partner escapes using any escape
• Approximately 2 minute rounds
• Vary partners and positions

Targeted rolling:

• Roll with judo rules with respect to pins, i.e. an unbreakable pin of 25 seconds is the same as a tap
