I had this fast little guy take my back last night, and for the life of me, I couldn't get him off. He couldn't choke me, couldn't armbar me, but damn, he was stuck to me like glue. After fighting him for like 3 minutes in this position (at the end of a long rolling session), I finally just gassed and had to tap. Frustrating, but a much-needed wake up call about my cardio...

Anyway, what are some of your favorite escapes when the guy has your back? Face up, face down, either one. I tried doing a sitout before he got the hooks in, but was too tired. When he finally got the hooks in, I went for the ankle/shin lock, but he was too slippery. I peeled off one of his hooks and sat on it, then tried to turn back into him, but somehow he kept a step ahead and got back around to the back. Maybe I needed to pressure back with my head more to pin him down. Anyway, any ideas you'd like to share would help!
