Back Escape — Roll to Guard

Rolling toward the trapped side allows the defender to break hook control and recover full guard. By redirecting the opponent’s weight and following through with a controlled roll, the bottom player can regain a neutral or offensive position.

This method highlights BJJ’s dynamic defensive principles: movement, timing, and awareness of the opponent’s grips and hooks combine to create effective escapes. Often, it is paired with hip escapes or grip breaks to maximize safety.
