Escape from the guard

• Sit in seiza, driving fists into the opponent’s hips to immobilize them.
• Drive an elbow into the inside of the opponent’s thighs, to push that leg down.
• Pin the pressed leg to the mat with your opposite-side knee.
• Side your closest leg out of the guard, and transition into a side mount.
