If you’ve been having trouble with escaping the Mount, you’re not alone. It’s probably one of the most dreaded positions to be in for many BJJ athletes worldwide… However, if you learn the Kipping Escape, your training partners (and opponents) will start having second thoughts about establishing Mount; and will much rather opt for the safety of Side Control.
“Safety”? Yup, because with this escape you’ll be in a prime position to go into an Ashi Garami. Into all sorts of Leg Locks.
Here’s how to do it, as explained by Brian Glick.
THE KIPPING ESCAPE
The beauty of this escape is that it will require little to none strength on your part. You’ll first need to frame against the training partner’s hips and then, instead of truly bridging them up, you’ll do a sort of a “jackknife bridge”; where you bump them up with your hips and then drop the hips down immediately.
As you drop them down, you’ll use your frames to keep the training partner’s hips up. Then, use a kipping motion with your legs as you turn sideways to get one knee in-between their legs and your other leg around and attached (at the foot) to the partner’s hip.
From here, you’ll be able to establish your Ashi. Watch how to do this in more detail on the video below, as well as to get an idea so as to what the actual “kipping motion” is:
