escaping pins

As mentioned previously, escaping pins and hold downs remain a critical component in terms of being able to escape from the bottom. If you can not escape from a head lock, scarf hold or side mount, then you are never going to improve. You will simply be someone who spends all his time on his back playing a deserate game of trying to survive. That certainly doesn't sound like fun. there are a number of ways to larn how to escape pins, but the best way is simply to try and escape the pin of a judo practitioner or a wrestler. After all, these characters are 'famous' for having developed their pin capabilities to a supr high level. If you are able to escape from the hold down of someone who is that exceptionally talented, then you are going to do significantly better against those who have not developed such a high and solid level of pinning/hold downs.
