Are you having trouble escaping from the mount?
Here Professor James covers some common mistakes made when using the hip escape from the mount position. Fixing these will dramatically improve how often this escape works for you.

@James Driskill thank you ..looking forward to this 🤩
Please share an "aha moment"
Can you share a technique or concept that you have learned from Professor James that has made a huge impact in your jiu jitsu or your thinking about jiu jitsu? I have 3 that I will share but first I want to hear what others in the group have. Thank you

@Nick Milla being "undersized " ..i have to take what they give me ... ive experimented with other finishes .. those 2 are more readily available In comparison an armlock from the guard (which i like to do) is way harder to set up /catch when my opponent knows im going for it 😁
