Escape from Side Control - Exploiting Centre of mass

This video shows an escape from side control or yoko gatame which links two basic techniques together of shrimping to re-establish a guard and then a basic scissor sweep. We look at how centre of mass being past the pivot point is essential and how kuzushi is done with the whole body. Please put questions and comments below. These techniques are fundamental in Judo, Brazilian Jiujitsu and Aikijujutsu ne waza or groundwork.
