North/South Escape

Here is north/south escape that I use. In the video I'll show the move, then break it down, then show it one more time. Helping me out is LockFlows own Kevinlace.

• Starting off in north/south

For this particular escape it works best if both of your arms are inside (your opponents arms are over your)
• Push up

Place your hand on your opponents armpits and push up to create space. Start bringing your right knee up.
• Shin to bicep

As you bring your knee up, slide your right hand over to your opponents tricep and place your right shin into his bicep...
• Close up

slide your hand that was on the tricep down to grab his wrist. your shin should be on the inside of his elbow. Here Kevin opens up so you can see the correct positions.
• Push with your shin

Now start to push away with your shin (still holding onto the wrist). This will also start to rotate you...
• Rotate

..Continue to rotate clockwise.
• Left leg over the shoulder

As you rotate place your left leg over your opponent's shoulder.
• Pull out your right leg

At the same time your right knee (and leg) should start to come out the other side.
• Triangle

Now you should be in a perfect position for a triangle. Note: if you can't get your right leg out, you've still gone from under the north/south to placing your opponent in your guard.
