Sit-Outs

1. From your base, support your weight with one arm and the opposite knee, then step your other leg underneath you, and rotate your body to come to a sit.

2. Work for hand control. Keep some pressure back into your opponent, but be aware of his hands so that you don't get chin dropped. Your opponent will try to keep his arms inside if yours, under your armpits. Dislodge his arms, and keep your elbows in tight to your sides so that his arms are no longer inside of yours.

3. Quickly roll sideways, over one shoulder to face your opponent. Flag the arm of the shoulder you roll over to catch your opponent and keep him from circling around behind you. If he is not able to follow behind you, attain your normal stance, and back up a little to ensure that the referee scores your escape.

4. If you cannot escape after one sit-out, try chaining multiple sit-outs in a row. Often this will get an opponent out of position and enable you to escape.
