3 options to counter the elbow escape or shrimp...

"In this clip, I teach 3 different options to counter the elbow escape or shrimp escape when you are in the mount. 

Option #1 use your weight to jam their arm coming through the middle. 

In order for your opponent to use this escape they have to turn sideways and in order to do that they have to bring their arm through the middle, so I drop my weight into their arm as they try to bring it through to prevent them from turning on their side.

Option #2 simply block their head.

They need to turn and crunch up to elbow escape so by blocking the head by placing your arm underneath you can stop this movement. 

Option 3 transition to the Side Mount position by lifting my knee and bringing my foot in by their hip with prevents them from getting under my leg"
