Packed with excellent escapes that are really clever and tricky.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Side Control Escapes made work!
Side control escapes are one the hardest tasks to get done. In particular when your opponent forces the pin over all other techniques or even stalls. The idea and concept of actually pinning your opponent on top of you and preventing his progress is pure gold. It forces him to move because you got into his/her mind. Furthermore how to prevent his gripping Read more about review stating Absolute Masterpiece by Pedro Sauerand pinning progress and resent and how to use it to escape or even counter directly via submissions is taught in a way which is easy to remember and that makes the techniques applicable for me. Sometimes it is easier to submit then to escape or reverse. Must have!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Gold
This instruction is just a gold mine. Everytime I revisit this video as I progress, I keep finding nuggets of information I didn't pick up before. The details is so layered that you always find something new after trying it out.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗jiu jitsu royalty
What a privilege to be able to learn from such jiu jitsu royalty
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Nice!
Side control is one of the problematic positions for myslef, so much so I would rather be stuck in mount or even have my back taken than be in side mount. This instruction provide a unique look at dealing with and escaping side control. I'm still trying to get to grips with all the details and perform the techinques shown within this instructional but so far so good. On the odd occasion that I have been able to pull off some of the escapes shown i'm always asked "what did you do there.." or alternatively "show me how you do that!" Some of the techniques take time and alot of adjustments to get right but given enough time I think they will be well worth it. The only downside to the instructional is I do believe that some of the camera angles or at least the demos could have been filmed at a better angle.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Love these sneaky counter attacks
A lot more people wouldn't mind bottom side control if they realized that there's more to it than just a couple of escapes and a couple of sweeps. There's some great counter submissions in this video, and as you practice them you'll see them in other positions as well. It opens your perspective and deepens your understanding of body mechanics.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Simple and basic escape
Easy to understand! Simple but strong

Escaping the sidecontrol is one of the hardest subjects to get done. Especially when your opponent forces the pin over all other techniques.

Great Escape
Precise instructions with old school foundation material!
Innovative old school
Well known concepts and never seen techniques in a old school bjj instructional. Couldn’t ask for more.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🔥Great for begginers
Another great video by professor saure. I know i have seen most of what was in this video before, but having his approach to the material kicks it up a notch. Also he gave a name to a move i have been using for years that i learned in my first year training and still use it to this day..
Excellent.
This will be my go to for side control instruction from now on.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻excellent tutorial! great complement to
excellent tutorial! great complement to his avoiding mount instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻An in-depth look at escapes.
Side Control is something that I have always struggled with for as long as I have been doing BJJ. I prefer being put in Full Mount over Side Control it is that bad. However with this series I have been able to address alot of holes in my game and in a short space of time I have been able, to not only fend of, frustrate, but also escape, and move into attacking positions.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great instructional!
Great instructional!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Essential escape gems
Covers the fundamentals along with those little details often skipped that makes the difference between making an effective escape or just thinking the technique doesn’t work. Full of little gems
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Excelent techniques and clear conceptual approach
This is pure classic BJJ in the best sense. Clear techniques with very clear fundamentals.
SIDE ESCAPES!
The instructional is very well done. Sauer is a great teacher His tips are very helpful. Micro movements and adjustments which are game changer. Highly recommend
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great!
Excellent review with great concepts
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻WOW VERY EASY APPROACH EVEN COUNTER ATTACKS
Pedro makes everything simple. The problem with the NEW BJJ which I love is that there is always a shiny move. Pedro keeps it simple and shows you how to move yourself out of pressure. You neeed to get this as you are learning from a Pioneer and Coral Belt.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Techniques that will get you moving from the bottom
When I have been in people's side control before and felt completely lost, so the importance of getting our can't be underestimated to me. I had been getting better at surviving but could be spending whole rounds surviving. The alternative escapes from this side control DVD have really helped me get moving and feel more confident all round, as I feel less afraid to make forward progress. It has also really helped my understanding of sweeps, as some of the moves involve similar mechanics to the knee lever and flower sweeps. This realisation has really struck home. I now have more of a combination approach to escapes, where if one doesn't work the other has a much better chance, whereas before it was more all or nothing.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Fabulous instructions
Fabulous instructions! His great class strength my escape techniques! I learned a lot through this instruction and have already applied it on the mat
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great for Beginners!
White belt for life here. This instructional is full of great details that I feel like are crucial for beginners to implement into their game. He reduces advanced concepts to their basic core and make them so easy to understand.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Details
You really can't go wrong with Pedro Sauer. His style of detail while explaining the mechanics of the techniques demonstrated is wholly unique.

Pedro Sauer - one of the better escape videos I have watched. I need to test on heavier opponents. Everything from Professor Sauer is first class
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Really good instruction
Really good material to improve your game. Good instruction to escape from side control.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Mechanics that transcend age
Beautiful technique, as is not unexpected from a master with a lineage such as Pedro Sauer. An instructional for someone interested in growing old on the mats. Spectacular. I constantly get complimented on my defense because of this and the "Avoiding Mount" videos.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻C.J.
Great instructional with some time tested proven old school conceptually based techniques.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Soooo smart
As always Pedro Sauer, show how to play a different game to stay active against stronger, heavier or more athletic guys. Soft, patient and sneaky. So smart!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great Escape
Always going to be great when it's Master Sauer. Don't like being held down or stuck in side control? Get this! He goes over how to prevent and escape side control and what to do to avoid being submitted.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Fundamentals of Side Control Escapes by Pedro Sauer
Fantastic! Some beautiful old school techniques here that are taught supremely well. The idea of Gracie efficiency is the paradigm here and Pedro makes it all so simple and easy to understand. Thanks so much.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Details, Insight, and Understanding of How and Why a Move Works
I have been training BJJ for eleven years and am still learning details about the basics to this day. Sometimes there is an epiphany moment and I suddenly gain an insight and new understanding of the move, but more so when someone breaks down the mechanics of why something will work, how it should work, and getting it to work. Those details are what we seek in trying to figure out how to move our bodies, our hips, how to control, and to make space. Pedro Saur is one of those meticulous individuals who has spent the time to learn and understand the details. Watching videos does not make your BJJ better, learning insight and then applying it to your game does. I picked up several little details from this set that I have adapted to my escapes.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻A Must Buy for Fundamentals
This is such a great instructional and very comprehensive! I especially love the philosophy and details Master Pedro include. This is a must have if you want great fundamentals.
