"Whether you can escape or not, you'll nearly escape alot" HAHAHA I really like that phrase

Thanks a lot! I'm the lightest and the only girl at my academy and end up at the bottom often, so having several escapes is very important!

I like going on my side right away and work with half guard from there

Mate, you couldn't imagine how much I've improved with these video. I've been able to apply most of the techniques in these videos while rolling. Definitely recommend this to people.

I love the yin and yang of this. Complementary answers to two related problems. I LOVE the details on the snag and drag, too.

Chaining works a treat for this white belt. Last weekend's roll under a brown belt mount: Bridge, hold position to keep his arms posted, and trap arm at the elbow and bring in, but he frees the arm. His hooks go in behind my knees so I defend my collar while disentangling hooks behind my knees, remembering in the process an Emily Kwok elbow escape detail which is to push his base out on one side with my knee so I can step over and hook his ankle in. Elbow escape with shrimp makes space. I shrimp the opposite direction and achieve half guard and get the lockdown, I bring my knees to my chest and elevate him with lockdown in place, make space, create a scramble and insert butterfly hooks. Mission accomplished. Being under mount feels safer than side control for me, even being caught in an Americana/figure four lock is an opportunity to get on my side and shrimp while fighting the lock.

Thank You for such a thorough video on such small details. I'm often the only woman on the open mat days, mind you I'm 4'9 114lbs, so I often find myself trying to escape. I plan to try these tonight.

Interesting to hear you say that if you are a better player rolling with an inferior player you should let them start in a more dominant position. It makes me notice that (as a white belt) the more competitively successful players I have rolled with have always been more likely to allow me to start in a dominant position (and sometimes they instruct me on how to tap them out). The one's who are intent on breaking my spirit (even if they are a higher belt) seem to be the one's who loose most of their compeitive matches .......

Man this helped alot.. when I rolled dude off me my mind was like "Holy Shit That Actually Worked!!!" Thank you man..

Slowing the video down really helps understand technique. Please continue this on all your videos. Thanks for the content

The new video format is awesome, loving these longer videos on specific details

Amazing instructor.

Great video Tom!

Excellent video, thank you!

This is absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much

Awesome tips thanks!

Very helpful. Thanks!!

just started my first bjj at 10th planet fitness in orange last week! fighting my early onset Parkinson’s! lets go! grateful

Another fantastic video. Thanks so much!

You're so damn good at explaining. Thanks for being marvelous:)

Thanks a lot, very detailed and clear.

Excellent! Sharing far wide.

These videos are really awesome! Much appreciated.

This is great! Thank you!!

You are a Genius prof tom

Base out to the opposite side to prevent escape and increase hip pressure as soon as you feel movement.

Your video's are the best mate. They've improved my bjj tenfold

Well put and nice series thank you.

Perfect!! I’ll try practice this one😃

Just starting my journey . Beautifully explained to a novice ! Thankyou

This channel is one of my absolute favorites for instructionals.

Thank you coach I'm learning a lot from your videos

This was awesome! Thank you!

Always love watching your demos. Every time I’m deep in 💩 one of your videos always pops into my head. Thanks buddy.

This is amazing!

This is a fantastic video. Thank you.

The demonstration of the wide knees + squeezing knees and how this affects your opponents base was a bit of an eye opener for me. I'm 2 weeks into BJJ and in my first ever "free roll" I believe I was in both of these positions ... one where my opponent squeezed their knees and one where they had their knees wide to stop me pushing them over. I froze in both scenarios because I had no idea what to do. These videos are great and give me things to think about! I appreciate it!

Terrific tutorial for a newbie. Thanks Prof! Your delivery is incredible.

i need this stuff bcoz i always have problems when i get mounted, thanks nice video

Thank you Professor Tom. Tremendous. White belt w two stripes. Trying my best.

The most informative and best vids thank you!!

Thank you. These are great.

Great content, thanks coach!! Going over mount escapes this week! This is exactly what I needed as a refresher!

Great stuff!!

I’m a white belt and I’m struggling with getting stuck in mount, I will definitely put this to work, thanks Tom! All of your videos are great 👍🏼

Grateful!

I’ve been Using the bridge technique and I feel so confident every time I pull it off lol thanks a lot! Your the best instructor

Awesome video!! Thank you!

This guy is such a great coach. Clear explanations and great little extra hacks and applications. Thanks!

Thank you, professor! Every instructor adds a detail to this skill for me and you added multiple! Now I just have to remember in the heat the moment 😅

Great way of teaching..thank you and Light watch over you...and your beloved.

Prof, you're def lookin' really jacked in these last several videos. Keep up the good work! It makes me want to start putting on some muscle too!

Mark Chan for real. Prof hitting the weights hard

being humble makes you stronger and your ego will get you hurt, gotta love this crazy place. good speech. thanks for the vid.

Thank you for all the information I really appreciate the versatility that you offer so that the mount escape never ends what appears to be one Stonewall is really just another avenue for escape.

This is absolutely amazing knowledge for a white belt like me! Going to practice these tonight! Thank you for this

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. Thousand times amazing. Thanks a lot for your lessons.

I've been doing nogi BJJ for a month, and was able to better my situation under mount by doing the knee up bench press style escape to slip a knee between myself and my opponent. I didn't get the foot lock, but it meant I was able to survive a bit longer. Thanks for these videos, professor!

amazing! Thank You!

Tom always get a lot of great tips from your vids! I enjoy a lot of the little techniques that you bring out and show all of us. Keep up the great work, I’ll look forward to the next one! Stay safe, much thanks again!

thank you so much for these great techniques! Now I have something to try when I get mounted, because during my first month of grappling class, I haven't been taught any moves to escape, only some random advanced offensive moves. I hope we start seeing separate "beginner" classes for grappling, just as with many other sports.

You never fail to deliver thank youuu😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good job brother I totally agree it’s super easy to put people there I don’t like working on top because I’m a big guy. But in Crossbody or on the bottom of Crossbody it’s always good I’m usually never in the guard either,but you can end up there so it’s always good practice! In my school we always work on that also when they get to be blue belts I make them wear blindfolds

I'm a beginner and really struggle with hip escapes and this video has helped a lot thank you

Great! Thank y!

Fantastic video 👌👌👌

So simple. I love simple

This is brilliant. Really well explained and easy (as easy as it can be for a newbie) to understand. Can you do one for side control too please? 👍👌

Top video, good teacher!

Great video!

Professor Tom has such a slick charismatic deliver with his theories and techniques. Just found his material. Constantly watching it. Keep it up Profession. Very valuable material.

thanks bunches. I'm a newbie.. 8 weeks in and had my 2nd all levels open mat this evening. I kept getting mounted and wasn't sure what approach to take once there. This really helped. Can't wait to try a couple of these tomorrow.

OMG!! I love the way you explain things! And yes I completely agree with everything you said. You should sometimes let someone who is less skilled or athletic than you start from a better position. Let's forget our ego!!

Thank you very much for all theese videos. Started bjj 3 weeks ago now checking out all the videos 💪✊✋

Does Professor Tom speak to my coach and personalise the content?! ;) We were only just working on loads of leg locking techniques this last week....going all Danaher-esque on set up and control. The week previous, we explored escaping mount and going straight on the offensive, using butterfly guard etc. A few nice wee pointers here that go beyond simply white belt level. I know many others at higher belts who persist with the traditionally taught, basic trap and roll. That wider, lower (tighter) squeeze on the leg being trapped always helps make any bridge more effective because it connects their hips and reduces their opportunity to marginally or totally disconnect & therefore render your 'explosion' a waste of energy. You're downplaying it to say it's a 'white belt tip'. Nice work as always, Tom.

Such a great teacher. Easy to understand and follow. Im a whitebelt who just started and im obsessed. Been watching so many different channels and this is definitely my favourite. You just got 100,000 subs too. Mazel tov

Thanks

Love it thank you!

This is awesome, training in 2 hours, practice time 😊

great instructor

Wish I could be a part of ur academy. I love your teaching techniques... everything is put so simply and easy to understand.

Thank you.

Thanks Brother

The snap and drag escape is extremely useful as I'm a smaller guy and my training partners tend to squeeze their legs together once I start to get on my side

Professor thanks for making life a little easier for us white belts

This video has been playing on my phone since 12 noon it’s 9pm now and I keep watching it

Your videos are excellent. Thank you. Hope the madness in Oz isn't as bad as we hear.

Very cool stuff!!! Best Regards from Cologne, Germany...

Wow nice tricks for beginners

learning mount/side control escapes and break falls can literally save your life

Thank you! Your videos are a better teacher than the actual jitz gym I go to. It's quickly just becoming a place I go to test your techniques when rolling 😂

I "trap" the leg the same way. Glad to see I'm not the only one =D

The professor videos helping me during the covid lockdowns 😭

Top class

This is such an incredible channel. I 'm new to BJJ, and even though I've done only 3 classes. I feel that I am able to watch videos and actually implement them into class. I feel like watching videos of techniques highly accelerates my game (I watched videos for months and months before actually trying BJJ). I find myself gaining and maintaining dominant positions against blue and purple belts with only 3 classes of experience. Thank you so much.
