Back Escape — Leg Over Turn

The Leg Over Turn escape uses momentum and rotational movement to throw one leg over the opponent and rotate out of back control. This technique shifts the opponent’s base, allowing the defender to turn into a more advantageous position, often ending in guard or side control.

Timing and body mechanics are crucial. If executed poorly, the defender risks exposing themselves to chokes or losing positional control. The escape demonstrates how rotational movement and leverage complement strength and defensive strategy in high-level grappling.
