Dan Hart (a Henry Akins black belt) shows Bernardo Faria an unconventional "Hard Roll" escape that instantly reverses bottom side control and lands you straight in a dominant top Scarf Hold.
Being stuck in bottom side control is one of the most frustrating spots in Jiu-Jitsu, especially when a heavier or younger partner is smashing you. Instead of fighting for traditional underhooks or getting your frames crushed, Dan traps the posting arm and uses a bottom hip toss motion to flip your opponent. You don't just escape. You land directly in top Kesa Gatame and take over the position.
