The devil is in the details....thanks Zog!

My pleasure

Constructive criticism please! I feel like I may be missing the flow but it's something I'm trying to work on. If you know how best to work on this like say an example drill please let me know!

Thanks

Before you even start live drills or attempting it rolling you need to fix your shrimp crawl/hip escape:

1) Don't bridge
2) Withdraw your hips to create space (think of a trap door in the floor that just swings open)
3) Get on your side

Without really putting work into a good shrimp you are going to have huge problems with escapes period, not just the Ghost.

So many guys try this from flat on their back. Look at the angle Zog creates in his vid.

I've been taught to bridge and shrimp is this just another way or no bridging for the technique?
I thought I made a point to be on my side what exactly am I missing?

I'll definitely put some work into my shrimps and focus on the trap door concept on my next training session, thanks a lot for this!

I've seen several variations of the shrimping over the years, some are far more efficient than others

actually getting on your side

actually getting on your side

LOL! Okay you got me there. Quick question then. WOULD there be a time where it's best to bridge before shrimping? I would think there has to be at least some scenario where it'll be smart to do so.

a great escape that I've yet to master. I'll get on it tho, the more side control escapes you have mastered the better
