How to Escape the Stack in BJJ

From Grapple Lab Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

September 10, 2026

Getting stacked by a bigger or more experienced opponent can put a ton of pressure on your neck and hips.

Dave shows how to use your frames to create space, relieve the pressure, and recover your position β€” with the option to bring in your butterfly hooks and turn the situation into a sweep.

Small adjustments can make a huge difference when you’re under pressure.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere β€” 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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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 β€” every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
