Someone with a good squeeze pass can ruin your day. Besides getting passed, you can get your neck and chin torqued into oblivion with the right opponent. I have had my share of excellent squeeze passers, which is how I developed my escape. It starts by first getting my opponent’s hips down my body, so that I can get their shoulder line away from my face and onto my chest.

You accomplish this by utilizing the lock down and an assist with your arms to yank down that shoulder. Once you got that, you can then pummel inside on the cross face arm. That will allow you to get your frames back together, and then you can fight for under hooks.

Following up from my last technique, we explore attacking the Americana aka Paint Brush submission from the Chest Squeeze Pass. This is a good option when the arm doesn’t get trapped beside their head. You have the Americana if the arm is bent, or the straight arm lock if they try to escape that.

Getting a big squeeze from half guard can ruin your day.

Whenever you lose that under hook battle and get cross faced, that squeeze can be brutal. It also is very difficult to escape that squeeze, and can leave you helpless as your chin gets turned and cranked.

And that is just the start! With enough time, they will pass your guard and can keep that pressure to setup an arm lock or arm triangle. So it is bad news all around.

But what are you supposed to do?
Don’t fight for the under hook on the side they have it on – you already lost that battle. Instead, get the inside position on the opposite side! The battle is much easier as they aren’t even concerned about that side, so you can recover your guard and even stand up with ease. Just check out the video:
