#1 Way to Escape Leg Riding and Hooks in Grappling

Geno Morelli shows how to escape leg riding in wrestling and jiu-jitsu. To escape legs or your opponent's hooks in back control, you need to make sure first that you are focused on staying small and not letting your opponent extend you. Then you need to make sure you eliminate diagonal body control. Whatever leg your opponent has in, we need to look to cross-pummel the other arm out from underneath our arm. Then we need to look to get hip separation so that we can work to an escape.

It depends on what style of back control they are good at wether this works or not.
A wrestler that’s “too high” on the back will fall for this. Anyone higher than blue belt will just follow you cause you’re not really addressing the hooks enough.

Dope video! Zain shows something where he staples the boot with his other foot and kicks out the trapped leg. Would you say there is a difference in which you choose? Like is one better for shallow vs deep etc.?
