Side Control Escape to Guard Recovery (Fundamentals)

Professor Edson Oliveira demonstrates an escape from side control and a guard recovery. He starts in the side control position, with the opponent controlling his hips. To escape, Edson creates space by framing on the opponent's shoulder and using his legs to elevate them. He then shrimps out and recovers his guard, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a tight connection and preventing the opponent from re-establishing side control. Edson also shows how to use your legs to create momentum and off-balance the opponent, making it easier to escape.
