In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the bottom position can quickly turn offensive. In this video I opted to escape to a leg lock situation but you can just as easily escape back to full guard. I prefer the leg lock attacks since I feel it is a superior position to Guard. I like to attack with leg lock that will either end the match or allow me to achieve top control. \r<br>\r<br>When stuck in the mount position you better know your escapes well if you want to escape fast. A good and powerful escape will get you back in the game. Take to long to escape and risk defeat. \r<br>\r<br>There are many ways to escape the bottom position, in this video I demonstrate how to use the elbow escape vs an opponent who is trapping you legs with his legs and is sprawling low into mount.
