Many years ago, when yours truly was a purple belt, I attended a seminar taught by Wilson Reis.
It was hosted all the way in the mountainous region of Frostburg, Maryland at Ryoma Academy, an affiliate of my alma mater, and there, for the first time ever, I exposed to a new way to shrimp.
Before that, I had never once done a reverse shrimp.
And at first, it was so odd. I had no concept of what it could be used for either. But I soldiered through and tried to figure it out to the best of my ability.
It takes years after that for me to finally understand the applications of that movement. And now I firmly believe that reverse shrimp must be drilled.
It’s important.
Case in point:
When an opponent isolates an arm and transitions to S mount, doom is looming. The armbar is on the way, and if they’re good, it’s going to be lethal quick.
That’s a horrible situation to get caught in.
And it happens all the time. That’s one of the fundamental transitions of the game. If you haven’t run into anyone who is good at hitting that armbar yet, it’s just a matter of time.
You won’t be able to avoid it forever.
But did you know that there is an absolutely ridiculous escape from the situation?
In fact, it’s just the reverse shrimp.
No fancy grips, elaborate setups, or extreme athleticism required. Just the reverse shrimp. Yes, that’s all.
So if you haven’t been drilling the reverse shrimp, it’s time to change that now. This is just one application. There are others. And it is a tool that will benefit you.
I guarantee it.
And if you want to see how stupid simple this S mount escape is, I broke it down on video.
