The ‘surprise armbar’ escape from side control is great technique for two reasons. First, it’s a a totally valid escape that’s actually much easier to do than it looks, and second, it trains many of the movements and adjustments you need to master in order to do other, more conventional escapes like the elbow-knee escape from side control.

Good luck with your training,

A concept to make escaping pins and bad positions on the ground much easier.

And while you’re here, it’s a sad state of affairs that the BJJ community is so particularly vulnerable to reflexive conspiratorial thinking. Yes, there have been conspiracies in this world, but no, not everything is a conspiracy!!

If you’re driven crazy by reflexive conspiracism as well, then check out The Strenuous Life Podcast for a dose of data-driven BJJ and occasional rants about approaching the world through the lens of science. On Youtube the channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxFCWZJbnlRyhw3vmDx0Rlg
