How can i escape the side mount in jujitsu?
It’s a matter of practice. Some people have crazy mounts but no mount is 100% effective and it’s just a matter of working at it get a feel for escaping. If someone has little experience with it I like to tuck my elbows and forearms between my opponent’s chest and mine and grip his uniform and belt with my hands. Next step is to explosively bridge up life your elbows to off balance and roll your opponent off and above your head. Keep your grip and perform a backwards roll over them and you can land in a side mount of your own. You almost never get another chance to use it against the same person but that first time I’ve always had a lot of success with it. Keep working and you’ll find what works for you. Keep shrimping around and feeling for space being created that you can use to trap them in a guard or a sweep. Good luck.
you must create space right away. as soon as he gets side mount quickly get to your side with stomach facing opponent and work your legs around to get back to full guard, or you get him into half guard and work from there, there are other ways like if he’s chest to chest to you, put both of your arms under him, and bridge, and lift must be done quickly enough so that you can get out from under him. works for me all the time.
Do you mean side control or side mount? Side mount is commonly called “S” mount and is a variation of the full mount; side control is when your opponent or sparring partner is perpendicular to you, controlling usually your head/shoulder and hips [they haven’t mounted yet]. S mount: you must bump, or “pop like popcorn”, then shrimp or umpa. Side control: turn to your side, facing them, and get guard back. Or jailbreak.
