Punch em in the balls.
Jeff Glover has a good transition from Knee on Belly to Deep Half that works pretty well. I've been using it just to get back to half guard. To overly simplify and summarize the technique, you basically turn their leg (the one across your belly) upright and push it back down to half guard. I belief the left hand is behind the knee cap and the right hand on the ankle.
Use the one Saulo shows above. My teacher is a close friend of his, and teaches the same thing. Once you get the elbow in, there is a lot you can do. You can turn as he shows, turn the other way to get on your knees with more space, or even fake one way and then granby roll into full guard. End of the day, though, being in Knee-On-Belly sucks. keep moving and get out while you still have gas.
The one in the vid exposes your back twice. Fuck that.
Right elbow to right knee to block the hook and keep the left arm in tight to prevent them from hooking the outside arm. Saulo takes his knee to elbow defense for granted sometimes as it's a crucial element within his curriculum. He uses it for guard passing, back defense, side mount defense, and god knows where else. It's a huge tool though, it should definitely be learned.Quote:

Drysdale has a sweet escape where he rolls up under the guy upside-down...its bad ass
If you know the running escape the way Saulo knows it, you aren't exposing your back. That stuff is Helio Gracie 101 Basics everyone should know and love. (Stepping of my Soap Box)Quote:
