Recovering Half Guard

Brian Glick's full breakdown of the knee-elbow escape: the diagonal bridge that lets you get the elbow inside, then walking the hips away to connect knee and elbow and recover half guard.

Short version of Brian Glick's knee-elbow side control escape, ending with the knee inserted and the leg back in play.

Quick tip: add a bridge before the shrimp so the passer's elbow disconnects from the mat and there is room to bring the knee inside.

When the passer blocks your hip and the knee-in does not work: escape belly down to the knees, then windshield-wiper the legs back to collect them in guard.
