Benefits of the Movements
This series has three movements, each addressing a common position in grappling: shot defense, bottom escapes, and guard escape. Here’s how each movement will benefit your grappling.
1. Hip Ups
When you’re on the ground defending a leg attack, hip ups create space for you to get out from under your attacker and back to a sprawl position.
2. Sit Outs
Sit outs are one of the most effective moves for any grappler escaping from the bottom position. Overloaded sit outs make you more explosive and resilient to attack.
3. Technical Stand Ups
Technical stand ups are common in jiu jitsu. This movement gets you from your back all the way back to neutral.
