Knee-on-Belly Escape — Roll and Shrimp

Rolling toward the opponent while shrimping the hips is a controlled escape emphasizing gradual space creation. The defender turns toward the pressure of the knee, using the roll to redirect weight while simultaneously shrimping the hips to create distance.

This technique conserves energy and minimizes exposure to submissions, such as armlocks or chokes, during transitions. Proper timing ensures the escape is safe and effective against strong top pressure.
