Instructions
- 1Start pinned in mount with both elbows tucked tight to your ribs.
- 2Bridge sharply to off-balance your partner forward onto their hands.
- 3Frame on their hip and shrimp your hips out to create a knee-shield gap.
- 4Insert the knee and recompose guard before they can resettle their weight.
What to focus on
Bridging first to create the space the shrimp needs.
Common mistake
Shrimping without bridging first, so there's no space to actually move into.
