In today’s BJJ technique video I answer a question from Conrad who is getting in stuck in the gift wrap position.

If you’re not familiar, the gift wrap position is tough to deal with, and if you don’t know how to deal with it, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is going to be rough for you. The position usually happens after someone gives up an angle from the mount position and opens up tons of options for them.

So in the video I’ll show a simple way to escape the position by palming your face. Now the escape isn’t easy and you will be exposed to multiple submissions, but the escape will give you a fighting chance.

Hope the escape helps!

In this BJJ technique video I share a simple idea on escaping side control when someone is super tight. I’m using the lapel to help (since it’s there) but you can use this same setup in no gi jiu-jitsu as well. Just make sure the bicep is across the face.

The big thing I really wanted to stress in this side control escape video is to be mindful of where you are pushing with your frames. Many beginners use their basic frames and push right into the power of the person on top. Meaning they push towards their legs and feet which means they get absolutely no where. But if we simply change the angle we’re pushing we can get a lot more mileage from our frames and bridges.

So if you’re getting stuck in side control when your doing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu then I hope this video is helpful!

The North South position in BJJ can be tough to escape.

If you think of Guard as having our hips in front of our opponent. North South is literally the opposite. They’re about as far away from the hips as they can be without getting up and running away.

This in turn can make it difficult to regain a decent position from the bottom.

This is why it can be such an awesome position for Guard Passers against long legged grapplers.

Circle towards the head and get to North South and you’re further away from those legs!

But what if you’re the person on the bottom of North South. What can you do?

Well in this video I share two North South escapes you can use in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

We’ll pay close attention to avoiding some basic submissions from the position and explore 2 escape techniques that are executed from different styles of North South.

If you’re getting stuck in this position then I hope these techniques are useful!
