The Trap and Roll Escape

The Trap and Roll Escape (also known as the Upa Escape) is a vital part of any self defense course based in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It is also one of the first and easiest mount escapes taught in BJJ Academies around the world.

Whether your goal is be able to defend yourself in a situation where you are attacked or if you just want to not be stuck under the mount position while training at your local BJJ Gym, applying the technique taught in this video will help you obtain your goal.

Self Defense Video Disclaimer:

Please do not merely watch this video and think you will be able to use this technique (or any self defense technique) against a resisting opponent 100 pounds heavier than you! Osmosis won't take what your eyeballs see, and transfer perfect technique into muscle memory. You need to gain the muscle memory the old school way....

GO TRAIN AND PRACTICE!!!
