Good day to everyone! If your at work viewing this post please help me in finding articles or video on North South escapes. Even if the technique looks similar across different articles/videos I would like to see what the grappler forum can find.

Appreciate everyones help in this.

Note: I've tried the escape posted above without success, the only time I actually escape from this position is when I bridge really high and land on my side and try to grab a knee, this is usually very sloppy and creates a scramble lol

I took the back with that escape last night, and got the choke. It's sweet! But I never knew that detail of pushing him back by grabbing the lapels, I always just pushed with my hands on the hips. I am psyched to try this detail!

There are no great north south escapes, sadly. Almost all of them entail wiggling away from your opponents hips and either swinging to one side or the other with a pendulum movement, or alternatively whipping up over onto the back (like that video). You have to be fairly flexible and agile to do the whipping up one.

Damn, I almost want to give up a north/south tonight just to see if I can get my fat ass up and over someone like that!

I use both, but actually prefer hands on the hips... then again not everyone has monkey arms.


This is a great escape for lanky guys though
