Roger Gracie: Escapes
Here is a video of Roger Gracie using escapes and defenses. This is an often overlooked skill in Jiu Jitsu today. Most people want to learn the newest submissions rather than practice "boring" defense. As you can see from this video, ANYONE can be put in a bad position at any time. Watch as Roger remains calm and survives the onslaught, then use perfect timing and technique to escape. He also tries to use his escapes to turn the tide of the match and look for a dominant position. They key is to put yourself in bad situations over and over, so you learn how to survive and perfect your escapes.
