On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene do a live recording of the podcast and discuss the importance of building a solid system of escapes from side control. 

We also discuss if escaping from side control is the most difficult position to escape from, the approach you should take when escaping side control and what people lack the most, if escaping is a skill learned in the instructional setting or from experience, the biggest misconception when escaping side control, one quality or attribute to give you the ability to become amazing at escapes, and the “Iron Squirrel.” 

Q&A: 

Is it better to look for escapes such as shrimping, ghost escape, inverting, or waiting on your opponent to move?

If Chewy has learned something new when teaching a technique?

What side control escapes chain together well based on common reactions?

What’s the best way to escape once you get flattened out?

What is the best way to shoot a single leg takedown?

How to improve cardio for BJJ?

What to do when you’re the smallest person in the gym?
