Description

Unpinnable: Intermediate to Advanced — Mastering Perpendicular EscapesThere’s a rare breed of grappler who can’t be held down no matter the size, skill, or strength of their opponent. These are the Unpinnable, and in this Intermediate to Advanced installment, you’ll take your freedom to the next level by mastering escapes from perpendicular control relationships, where your opponent’s spine crosses yours in dominant positions like side control, kimura traps, armbars, deep half guard, and cross ashi garami.This is where technical precision meets psychological liberation. Being trapped beneath someone is more than just a positional disadvantage it’s a battle for your confidence, your breath, and your mind. Whether you’re a competitor, a martial artist training for self-defense, or someone reclaiming power after trauma, bullying, or fear of control, this instructional equips you with proven systems to turn every pin into an opportunity.You’ll learn to:Escape with ease from every variation of side control even against heavier, more skilled opponents.Transform disadvantage into advantage, creating the illusion that you’re in control even from the bottom.Understand the core principles that apply across BJJ, wrestling, judo, MMA, and self-defense.Dismantle your opponent’s control structure before they ever think about submitting you.This isn’t just about survival it’s about taking back the narrative. When nobody can hold you down, you gain the freedom to impose your own will in sport, in combat, and in life.If you’re ready to graduate from basic escapes to high-level positional freedom, this is your next step. For those who crave not only technical excellence but also the unshakable confidence of knowing no one can keep you where you don’t want to be, this is the must-have instructional you’ve been waiting for.Welcome to the Intermediate to Advanced level of Unpinnable where the fear of being controlled ends, and total freedom begins.
