Lesson: GB Halifax: Back Escapes

In my blog I will have a regular(ish) "Lesson" feature where I shall be highlighting a technique(s) that I have been learning at the various academies I train at. This week is the turn of the GB Halifax academy. where we have been working on Back Escapes.

Anyone who has ever found another person on their back will know that it is not a nice position to be in. Well unless of course you are a bit kinky and are partial to a bit of that type of thing. Regardless, you never know when you may need to escape from this position. Therefore it is essential to have escapes in you arsenal. Below, Saulo Ribeiro, shows a way to escape the back position. This snippet was taken from his DVD entitled Jiu-Jitsu Revolution 1 available from World Martial Arts



And finally for your viewing pleasure, Andre Galvao and Paulo Procopio demonstrate some defense techniques for defending the rear naked choke at the Valente Academy in San Diego.



Try these and let me know how you get on.
