• Concepts are most important for beginners

1. Elbow Escape from under mount
   • create a frame with the arms inside the hips
   • turn to side
   • slide knee under ankle to lift it and figure four it
   • then hip in to lift the knee and slide the leg out of the mount
   • shift to other hip with elbow inside knee
   • bring knee inside the hip; shift hips again to create angle where the leg can escape the mount
   • the same movements can be used from under a side-pin
   • the same movements workd from someone with back control
2. Back control from closed guard
   • use the legs to pull the arm by and get behind the elbow
   • grab the lat across the opponents back
   • try to get your head higher than theirs
   • pull the lower arm out and prop up on it
   • pivot to the opponents back
