What Will You Learn?

In an ideal world we never get put into bad positions and all we do is snag submission after submission. Sadly that isn’t a reality for ANYONE who does Jiu-Jitsu! The reality is no matter who you are, you will face adversity on the mat and end up in bad positions.

Thankfully, 4th degree black belt Stephen Whittier is here to break down a complete system of escapes for some of the most common scenarios in combat. In his latest SIX PART series, Stephen looks to give you clear-cut pathways of escape from the bottom against a wide range of controls. You will learn how to dismantle positions like side control and north/south as well as their numerous variations.

Whittier takes each scenario and explains multiple phases of escape including some key preemptive measures that may help you avoid the position entirely! Knowing is half the battle and Stephen makes sure that you learn much more than JUST an escape. Dive deep into granular details that are often overlooked in the essential world of escapes. You don’t have to be strong or explosive, instead you just have to learn Wittier-approved techniques!

Further your knowledge of escapes by exploring variations of control that more advanced practitioners use to hold down their opponents. As you advance in the world of Jiu-Jitsu you will encounter more sophisticated methods of control that can sometimes be constantly changing. Stephen looks to put you back in control of the action by chaining escapes together in a way that is hard to keep up with and even harder to stop!
