Was wondering how people did the side control escape when you're under a much heavier guy--everytime I try to create the space, move my hips out and try to regain guard, he follows me along, sandwiched between his triceps and legs, smothers me and sooner or later, gets mount. It seems with this guy, once he's got me pinned cross-side, I find it better to have him mount and reverse him there as my upa/bridge is much more effective.

Anyway, apologize for the newbie question and appreciate any ideas suggestions-- thanks in advance.
