Bridging Hip Escape vs Side Control, Armbar from Closed Guard
Marcelo recovers from a throw and counterattacks with an Arm-Lock: If your are thrown to the ground and held down in Side-Control, keep your legs raised above the mat to block them from direct access into mat while you manevuer your hands into position for a Frame-Escape; place your far-hand against your opponent's near-shoulder while posting your near-hand onto their hip. Generate space for your legs to recover back your Full-Guard by bridging hard into the mat and quickly collapsing back down with a Hip-Escape while your frames remain extended. Drive your near-side knee across your opponent's hips towards elbow-knee connection and begin squaring back up parallel to your opponent. Allow your foot to slip out from undeneath as you realign yourself and secure the Closed-Guard position by crossing your ankles behind your opponent's back. Break your opponent's posture down and secure their elbow against your torso by using both of your hands to grab onto their arm at the wrist and triceps. Create an angle relative to your opponent by placing your foot onto their hip and kicking your other leg up into their armpit on the opposite side. Release their wrist and replace the grip for a post against their near-side shoulder to help prevent stacking pressure and also hold their upper-body in place long enough for your leg to swing across their face for an Armbar. Regrab their wrist and raise your hips behind their elbow while keeping your feet heavy to create breaking pressure.
