Mount Escapes, Balance Battles & What’s Next
Welcome to the final part of our free Brazilian Jiu Jitsu course! This last segment helps reinforce key grappling concepts — from escaping difficult positions to learning how to stay balanced under pressure. Whether you're training with your child or guiding them through solo, these final four videos are packed with movement, mindset, and fun.
Mount Drill – Bottom Position (Escaping Mount)
What you’ll learn:
One of the most important self-defence techniques in BJJ — how to escape when pinned in mount.
Key Techniques Covered:
- Hooking the leg and trapping the arm (Stage 1)
- Bridging and rolling at the right moment (Stage 2)
- Timing your escape when under pressure (Stage 3)
Teaching tip: Introduce stages (Level 1: Arm Trap, Level 2: Leg Hook, Level 3: Bridge & Roll) to help children learn progressively and with purpose.
Sumo Drill 1 – Building Balance, Pressure & Focus
What you’ll learn:
A fun, competitive drill where two kids (or child vs parent) try to push each other out of a circle — developing balance, stance, and pressure control.
How it works:
- Players face off inside a circle (can be made with belts, cones, or chalk).
- Using shoulder and elbow grips, they try to push the other out without falling or losing footing.
- Helps kids understand center of gravity, footwork, and control under stress.
This game develops the kind of balance and base control that forms the foundation for all grappling and takedown defense.
Sumo Drill 2 – Advanced Balance Battle in Tight Space
What you’ll learn:
An evolution of Sumo Drill 1, now in a smaller circle with one foot inside only — raising the difficulty and excitement.
Key Concepts Covered:
- Maintaining balance with limited movement options.
- Applying grips strategically (shoulder and elbow).
- Learning to stay calm under pressure and make micro-adjustments in stance.
Winning criteria: You win by forcing your opponent out of the circle or causing them to fall/trip.
Pro tip for parents: These drills are amazing for coordination, confidence, and positive competition. Great bonding activity, too!
