Escaping the Mount, Part 2: Fighting for Your Arms and Rolling Over

From Gracie Barra Avondale

January 8, 2026

Building on the first lesson, kids learn how to actively fight to keep their arms free and use that movement to roll their partner. The focus here is effort, timing, and learning how small movements can change a bad position into an opportunity to escape.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
