Drill

Instructions

1. 1Start in mount or side control with a partner escaping at increasing resistance.
2. 2React to their first movement with a grip or weight adjustment, not a big repositioning.
3. 3Only advance position (e.g. mount to back) once the pin is fully secure.
4. 4Reset to the starting pin each time they fully escape.

What to focus on

Small, early reactions to escape attempts instead of large late corrections.

Recommended reps

5 x 90 sec positional rounds

Common mistake

Waiting until the escape is nearly complete before adjusting the pin.
