What Will You Learn?

???? Fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Escapes (Gi & No-Gi)
A complete escape system designed to teach reliable, pressure-tested exits from bad positions—adaptable to both gi and no-gi training.

???? Course Overview

Lachlan Giles—a world-class competitor and coach—presents a systematic escape curriculum covering all major defensive scenarios. Emphasizing solid structural control, positional intelligence, and timing-based approaches, this program lets grapplers neutralize dominant positions and recompose guard with confidence.

???? What You’ll Learn

  • Foundational Escape Principles: Framing, posture, spiraling, hip movement, head control; escape sequencing under load.
  • Side Control Exits: Hip escape drills, elbow shield, knee-to-elbow twists, partial underhooks; recomposition into guard or turtle.
  • Mount Escapes: Bridge-and-roll vs knee-elbow escapes, counter-shoot transitions; frame usage and timing.
  • Back Control & Turtle Exits: Seatbelt hand-fighting, head isolation, shoulder rolls, leg-hook escapes, technical stand-ups.
  • Knee-on-Belly & North-South Management: Weight dispersal, whizzer use, head-post/hip-shift escapes; regaining turtle or guard.
  • Live Sparring & Positional Drills: Progressive-resistance drills, sparring snapshots, flow patterns linking multiple escapes.

???? Who This Course Is For

  • Grapplers wanting a complete, structured escape toolkit for real rolling.
  • Those facing strong, pressure-based top games in gi and no-gi.
  • Anyone seeking confidence in surviving and resetting under load.
  • Practitioners valuing position-based instruction with flow and sequencing.

✅ Key Benefits

  • Systematized Defense: Position-by-position escape structures with built-in flow.
  • Pressure-Proofed Techniques: Designed to work under aggressive pressure.
  • Drill-to-Flow Integration: Connects partner drills to live sparring.
  • Gi & No-Gi Versatility: Every escape adapts to collar grips or grip-pinching scenarios.
