Jujitsu Flow Drill: Mount Escape to Hip SweepFiled Under: Instruction, Uncategorized
Jujitsu flow drills are a great way to get good at grappling moves by linking techniques in a smooth sequence and repeating them over and over a bazillion times. For this particular drill -similar to mount escape to scissor sweep, one partner starts by taking mount. From there, the bottom partner escapes the mount via the bridge and roll technique and transitions into guard. Utilizing the guard position, the guy on the bottom performs the hip sweep (kimura sweep) and re-gains the mount. Each moves flows to the next, allowing the cycle to be performed for dozens of fluid repetitions.
Bridge and roll mount escape
Hip sweep/ Kimura sweep
For beginners, just focus on the hip sweep – sit up, control the arm, elevate the hips, and “bump” him over. The technicalities of the kimura shoulder lock can be added later when you’ve got a good handle on the moves.
Again, easy does it. Start slow and stay technical for the first 10-20 cycles. Only go faster when you’ve really got the finer points down pat.
