2 Part Lesson — Marcelo fights Diego's short arms under Side Control: [I] If you're late in defending the Side Control and your opponent clasps his hands together for Underhook & Head Control, try flipping him over -- if his weight is too across, you can roll him in a reversal. If this doesn't work, bridge yourself from side to side to open up space and build a frame to slip your head out of his closed loop. Once out, grip his triceps for the Elbow-Push Escape back to Butterfly Guard. [II] Regardless of which arm you insert inside first to build your frame, if your opponent brings his elbow back against your grip on his triceps, press his arm away and Hip-Escape away for the Foot-Wipe Escape to Seated Guard. If he switches base to Scarfhold, sit-up with your elbow posted on the mat behind you to push him over or escape your hips.
