Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals Program of Science of Jiu Jitsu Team developed by professor Mario Rodríguez 

Summary

Working on the principles and strategies for defending and escaping from the back in brazilian jiu jitsu.

• Concepts about defense: hands crossed, elbows tight to rib cage, don't turn to the outside, instead turn facing the opponent , bridging over a leg until both shoulders are on the mat.
• Relevance of frames after bridging and putting our back in the mat for preventing the mount after escaping the back (one hand at the chest and the other at the knee)
• Escape movements  (towards closed or half guard, towards side control, towards turtle)
