Back Escape — Spin Under Shoulder / Turn into Opponent / Seatbelt Spin

These escapes are advanced variations combining spin and shoulder alignment. Spinning under the opponent’s shoulder or turning toward the opponent creates openings to free the back while maintaining defensive posture. The seatbelt spin specifically retains partial grip control while rotating, which can disrupt the opponent’s balance and open opportunities for guard recovery or reversal.

They are effective in situations where standard hip escapes or rolls aren’t sufficient. These techniques illustrate BJJ’s focus on chaining escapes and creating angles to counter dominant positions, using both rotational movement and control of the opponent’s limbs to ensure safety.
