CLASS: Stiff Arm and Ghost Escapes from Side Control and Kesa (6-Nov-24)
Class Instructions

9m 57s
When the opponent attempts to settle into Side Control, you can use the basic Stiff Arm escape to redirect his upper body to recover your guard. If he hugs your head, then reverse the position. If he switches base to the Kesa Gatame position, apply the stiff arm to the nearside lapel. If he makes it difficult to stiff arm from his Kesa, then attempt to underhook his body and do the Ghost Escape.
