Escapes

Get out first: escapes from locks, holds and bad spots.

Escape the Standing Neck Lock
Kali Academy · Instagram Reel

The entry that opens this section is not BJJ at all — and that is the point. Kali Academy, a Turkish self-defense outfit, answers the street version of the problem: "If an attacker locks your neck like this, do this." Until now this archive filed its escapes inside other cards — an SLX escape lives in Leg Locks, a grip defence in Grips — but getting out is a discipline of its own, and it now has its own shelf. Survival first: protect the neck, break the structure, get out.
