North South Escape Hermit Crab

Escaping North/South can be one of the most frustrating things in the world, especially against a skilled opponent. Throughout the remainder of my North/South instructional videos I will post a few escapes. This is the first one in a series. Although it is low percentage as demonstrated it can be VERY effective in forcing your opponent to create space and allow you to escape. Like in previous videos, the first thing that we need to understand is that space is made on the way DOWN, not the way up. This is a recurring theme throughout my videos and is the basis for escapes and reversals. With that in mind it is important that you make space to straighten your arms on your way down from your bridge. I explain this in detail at the beginning of the video and I highly suggest watching it. Once we have made some space it is time to bind my partners arm in front of their face. This is something that I have seen taught at other schools but often I see students try and use to much arm. When you do it by trying to slide the arm in front of your opponent's face they will just squash you and stay tight with their head. You MUST make the transition with your hips. When you make this transition about moving your hips instead of trying to snake your arm around the head it allows you a LOT more space and control. There is a little bit of practice to get the spacing correct on this move as it will differ between different body sizes. As a rule of thumb you want to catch your opponents elbow in your armpit by WALKING YOUR HIPS. I really wish I could emphasize this more as I am constantly correcting my students when they perform this move. I mention in the video that I try to be real with my students about the viability of particular techniques. Up until this point everything is fairly easy. Making the space, when practiced correctly, isnt that difficult. The problem comes with binding that arm in front of their face. As a black belt I find it comical that I would stay stationary long enough to let someone do this to me. What would really happen is I would lose control of their hips and either transition into another position or disengage when I realize I'm losing control. It is in this instant that you have an opportunity to escape. This particular technique buys you the opportunities to escape. Be prepared to scramble back to a neutral position. The truth is, you've made some big mistakes and it's going to be difficult to get back into the game from such a negative position. With that being said, in the event that you do catch that arm in front of the face you are golden. Make sure that you are actively pinching with your elbow (something I neglected to mention in the video) and also make sure that you get a good grip on the back of your opponent's kimono. Once you have secured the arm it is time to walk your feet back so that you can move your head partially under your opponent. Make sure that you do not go all the way back under to north/south. This will relieve a lot of the pressure on that bound arm. What you want to do is move just enough so that you give space for your opponents back to hit the floor without falling on your head while still binding that arm effectively. Again, this will take some practice. Overall the concepts behind this technique are great. Binding that arm around your opponents face is something great that you can do from a lot of positions and it is in this lesson that I choose to teach my students how to effectively play with that space. This is an important skill to have and a decent escape.
