Marcelo Garcia: Escaping Side Control
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- 3 Part Lesson -- Marcelo escapes from Side-Mount: When you opponent is holding you down in Side Control with a balanced approach, i.e. they are not laying too heavily/tightly over your centerline and therefore susceptible to a Bridge Sweep/Reversal you may not be able to recover your knee(s) inside to recompose guard due to them monitoring your hip closely with their far knee in Side-Control with Underhook & Head Control (Side-Mount, Cross-Sides (Top), Cross-Face. Protect your far-arm by keeping it strong and bent as a Frame against your opponent's neck/jawline; quickly keep it safe from any variations of Arm-Lock and don't waste any time advancing your defense. Connect your hands together in a joist and rock your legs or pop a bridge to help open up enough space to turn onto your side and pummel an Under-Hook. Apply another bridge coupled with your Under-Hook to make room for a belly-down turn-over entry onto a Single. You can finish the single from your knees, drive to the far-leg for a Cowboy-Double or Barzagar, or come up with the leg and finish from standing. Stay low on your opponent's knee as you turn onto your belly and build up your base before coming up to attack your opponent's Back/Side from the Coyote-Guard/Dog-Fight Position; otherwise, you run the risk of giving up the Mount or arriving on top inside a Triangle. [04:36] Use your near-side arm to help loosen your opponent's Cross-Face (aka Shoulder-of-Justice, et al.) and also prevent your opponent from using two hands to attack your far-arm before wedging it into safety as a Frame. Meanwhile, elevate both of your knees to block an easy path from Side-Control into Mount. If your opponent is keeping heavy against your chest and preventing you from creating enough room to pummel for and Under-Hook and turn onto your side, pummel your opposite hand inside and connect your hands again in a Frame/Joist. Employ a bridge to help push up and turn yourself onto your side, pushing at their biceps and pummeling for an Under-Hook; use the Under-Hook as a jack to throw your opponent away from defending their knee from your Single-Leg Reversal. You can feed your opponent's lapel/belt through their legs to amplify your effect on coming up and finishing the Single. [08:49] Oscillate your Bridge-Escape until a dissonance is generated inside the discursive feedback loop of control for your opponent; in other words, you may need to quake back and forth, alternating between the two major directions of your Bridge-Escape to disrupt your opponent's ability to correctly track, adjust, and retain the Side-Mount Position.
i love how he shows the intensity in which the moves might actually work. so many tutorials show the move too slow and with not enough resistance. I like the sharpness and explosiveness he always implements
I appreciate that he's not using the Gi. So this works for No Gi as well.
Most escapes don't involve the gi.
i left gi jiu jitsu for no gi...its more effective and practical...
@Brendan Clune Why would they? I'd love to know..
@@M.Kamraan In gi and no gi you will develop different type of skills, if possible you should train both.
@@guilhermemrdeath Will look into it... Thanks for the Tip👍🏼
Who else remembers that classic elbow push escape video from years ago!!? That was one of the first bjj videos that really helped me through my initial stages as a white belt getting trapped under people! I remember I hit that escape on a purple belt in a different country, and he smiled and said “ah, you’ve watched that Marcelo Garcia escape video” and we both had a chuckle.
So, need to take a moment and say... THANK YOU MARCELO! You don’t know me and probably will never meet me, but you’ve helped my game so much!
That's a great story. Bjj is great
Just started training again and having a ridiculous hard time to escape side control. It's so frustrating, when im on top, ppl just roll me around, bench me up, do whatever they want, it's like im a feather. When im on the bottom, its like a building is on top of me and i have no strength to create any space with any of the arms. Their arm pits are stronger than my fucking legs so i cant create hip space either. Its a boomer man
Bruno Soares Rodrigues I like to use a philosophy I call strong point philosophy. I’m like 140 lbs but when big guys pass my guard, this just means that you analyze and figure out what grips or limbs are the ones giving the opponent the strength to close distance or the base so they don’t get rolled over. A pyramid will always fall if at least two sides get knocked down, humans are like that in the sense we have four limbs. Just go for the points/grips of strength or points that allows them to keep a base and remove them using leverage, be creative and keep putting yourself in those bad positions. It might take some time to develop the sequence of moves but eventually you’ll start seeing them sooner and being more deceiving with them and should be able to get out of these positions. I’ve been able to do so now with guys near the 240lbs weight on me, it wasn’t always the case and more so if they move to different positions, but one day at a time brother. Hope this was of some help, good luck in your journey!
I got my back taken many times as a white belt doing that escape wrong. 🤣🤣🤣
All this for absolutely free of charge! mind blown 🤯
You can tell Marcelo's brain is working way faster than he can explain
the guy is like...dude, I am trying to hang on lol
Marcelo will go down as one of the greatest of all time
I haven't done jiu-jitsu in 8 years, but I still love to watch the Marcelo explain all the details of jiu-jitsu techniques!!
What an awesome teacher!
get back in there! your jj friends miss you
Why did you stop?
Go back dude. I just started after 4 years of not doing it. It’s the best!
Go back pal
Never seen a coach’s belt come off demonstrating a technique. Awesome stuff.
I'll take this little bit of information to today's class-wish me luck!!
So funny, that’s what I always say and then forget it in first second of rolling and then need to go back and watch video another 20 times..
@@myplcrew I'm the same way-too funny!!
Muito obrigado pelo conhecimento! Feliz que está melhor! P cimaaa
thank you so much for this Professor. I'm really new to BJJ and I felt that there's so much details about the fundamentals that I need to learn
great info. As a white belt, I am always finding myself having to figure things out from the bottom. Will be putting this to use asap!
Thank you for this ! I really struggle with side control especially bigger opponents that I face ..but the rocking back and forth I think is a game changer for me and I have you to thank for that ❤
As a whit belt, this video has helped my game SO MUCH.
Marcelo is the man
Thank you so much professor MG. Theseare amazing techniques 👍👍
Excelentes posições.... Great positions!
The guy probably had a concussion by the time marcelo was done lol.
Exactly what I was thinking. CTE this side, CTE that side, CTE this side, CTE that side....
Diniz is a beast.
best explain ever good part of this video is he cover all scenario
wow Our Great Marcelo Garcia. Thank you for the video. :-)
There is a 110 kg guy in my gym, that I test all these escape on. Sometimes it works , sometimes I get crushed but I'm still perfecting.
These escapes are terrible inefficient. Switch to something that works, always.
@@k9prtrWhat escape would do you consider efficient? Marcelo was a high level competitor so I doubt he would want to waste energy for no reason.
This was a good reply lol.
Remember, it's not his fault he's 110kg and he pays to go that gym too.
Every few weeks I'll remember how dumb that guys comment is and have a good laugh@@michaelmeissner9371
Very good sequence ,of techniques!!
Very good, thanks
Very clearly explained and filmed.
1 stripe blue belt here and and I still feel so uncomfortable in bottom side control. Thank you Professor, I will try this in class tomorrow.
Being in side control sucks. For everyone.
If side control didn't suck it wouldn't be considered a dominant position.
@The Tide Rises up to a point, sure.
Thanks both of you especially Matiz
Te quiero mucho Marcelinho 💖
Excellent detail!
Great!
Thanks för sharing!
Thanks for this amazing video. Regards from Tenerife, Canary Islands.
Vc realmente é muito talentoso
Great video- Thanks 🙏🏽
Thank you, Marcelo.
Boa Marcelo !!!
13 people are still stuck in side control
18 now. haha
HA HA!!!
@@eight2230 one got out lol 17 now....
@@AV9000x LOL!!! I once rolled with a big blue belt who said he felt he could pin Marcelo Garcia forever in side control because he was strong and he never saw Marcelo play a lot of half guard from being in side control. The blue belt was admittedly big and strong, but only weightlifting strong, not grappling strong. It seems he could never develop the connection to use all that muscle towards grappling techniques. So I choked his bitch ass with my feeble 150lbs.
@@rasalghul9331 that's a real weird way to speak about your teammate
Another fine job of teaching Jiu Jitsu
Melhor de todos os tempos 🔥
Excellent!
Amazing 💯
Muuy bueno!!
Expectante siempre a sus técnicas.
Exitos!!ooss!!.
Muito bon, I'm going to try to use this.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks 🙏
Obrigado Marcelo . jiujitsu oss...
Awesome!
Beautiful!!!!

Valeu Mestre jiu jitsu e minha vida oss
GOAT
O matheus esse cabelinho ai ? Kkkkkk ta apanhando do mestre ai? Kkkkk valeu obrigado !
Muito bom! Obrigado!
Posso fazer a mesma coisa na meia guarda mestre?
Whenever I get into a bad position like being mounted, back taken, pinned and face a opponent with the same skill level I find it impossible to apply any techniques to reduce the risk of submition any body else feel the same?
I found that I was panicking when being mounted and pressure being put on my chest and my face smothered a bit. So I picked the biggest guys and when put in mount during a roll I concentrate on getting used to tight spaces with not much air or room to move. I find now I am more relaxed to work my moves.
Marcelo's bridges are fucking good
Great technique. Awesome video Marcelo
Do you have a school here in Southern California?
i am really wondering about oct 22nd match between Charles vs Islam UFC fight.. Whats your opinion?
Im picking up jiujitsu really fast as a former wrestler but my worst position is side control. I can frame, hip escape and explode up but I want to focus on recovering guard and not exposing my back.
Obrigado professor
Professor, could you please explain exits when the opponent lowers the hip?
When xande says “elegant” does he mean “elongate”?
I thought the same thing. I'm sure thats what he means because that's what he's doing elongating his body.
You’ve just made total sense of that for me, thank you! I couldn’t understand the elegant bit at all as a name 😂
True jiujitsu God
when you get to the end move, when you are behind him like at 4:20, maybe getting up on your feet and one arm around the waist and wrestle him down would be better?
Extra movement. Letting the action come all the way up, just to get back down. But I guess if you really trust your wrestling, that might be the move.

12:51 he swayed so well it untied his belt
would this work in mma or would he sprawl elbowing on the side of the head
Any tips on "getting low" on the opponent's leg as you go belly down for the single?
Lesson #1: how to tie my belt.
Beat me to it. 😂
bro matteus's ears are insane
nevermind thats a bandaid 😭😭
nice
Tommy should learn this.
I’m still stuck
its hard to get that elbow inside for me
11:13 when the mechanical bull tells you to stay tight
how do I escape from a guy mounting me
O bom e véi DVD do Demian Maia é muito melhor nesse ponto aí 😂😂😂😂😂😂
top ossss
esse cara q ta passando posição com ele se ferrou kkkk
problem is when there is colar grip
👏🏽
Steven Seagal taught Marcelo that move.
🤓
is this gym still operating?? Just moved to the city and would love to attend
yes
I believe they're still closed due to COVID
7:00 👌🏻
So very impractical for street fighting defence.

Need a love 💘 button.
I think you should of explained the importance of transitioning your hand/forearm from his back to under his chin better than just saying "it needs to be strong infront of his face" - the guys head and body weight will be stronger than your forearm. One suggestion that my black belt coach taught me was to bridge towards the guy to create a small gap to transition your hands/forearm from the back to under his throat. Otherwise you run the risk of getting americana'd, especially if the guy is in a static position, quick and putting alot of pressure on you. However, good video nonetheless, the single leg is actually one of my favourite escapes.
LOL
@@jiujitsustudent604 He clearly doesn’t know who the great Marcelo Garcia is LOL! One of the GOATS in Jiu-Jitsu competition and coaching.
Mic P MORON
LOL
I'm already tired just from watching that last escape. Marcelo doesn't even sound winded.
10:15
Oss
Be careful of Marcelo's tum plz
with some pressure that bridge wont work...
I think Marcelo knows what does and doesn't work under pressure lol. He's won matches at world championships against much larger opponents and BJJ legends like Andre Galvao, Robert Drysdale, and Alexandre Ribiero
Picking a dude up and throwing him out of side control...that's not happening
Directions not clear. Wife has me gift wrapped and invited her friends over to laugh at me.
This exposes you to arm attacks way too much and is terribly inefficient. Danaher's v-shape elbow escape is much superior.
