![]() For that reason, the next examples I found for you focus on when to shrimp for the maximum effect. When it comes to escaping bad situations, movement is only one component of success. The first is a knee on belly escape that uses the forward movement to establish a position of leverage, and the second uses the same movement to escape from S mount. My goal here is to help you realize the same thing, if you haven’t already, by giving you examples. In fact, I’ve only started to realize how often I use the movement. Shrimp movements, both forward and backward, are very common in a lot of techniques. Now let’s go into more uncommon territory. So these first two videos review the concepts that go into those escapes. They are the first two that come to mind when you think about the shrimp. The two most common defensive applications of the shrimp are seen in side control and mount escapes. How you use the shrimp may be different, but find a way to make the movement work for you. In my own case, I don’t have the flexibility to flex my knee completely, so elevation for me is really important. ![]() This is a difference between physical attributes. In the other example though, Henry couldn’t bring his heel all the way to his butt, so he had to elevate to cover the necessary distance. That allows him to cover a lot of distance on his shrimp, even despite the fact that he didn’t elevate his hips much. It includes:ĭid you notice how Rafael’s shrimp differs from Henry’s? In the last video, Rafael was able to flex his knee completely. This last video gives you an overview of many hip movements. Off the top of my head, I use it for armbars and scissor sweeps. The ability to angle your hips off changing the dynamics of the contest. ![]() The lateral shrimp: This movement is mostly used for offense.I’ve also noticed it in some positional escapes. The most common areas where this movement is applied is in spider guard and some triangle setups. The forward shrimp: In essence, this movement is just the standard shrimp in reverse.Realizing that, years ago, helped me make my shrimp more effective. The backward shrimp: Did you notice how he shifts his weight to his shoulder and elevates his hips? That one piece is crucial because if the hip is on the ground, friction will retard the movement.It is a method of increasing your mobility on the ground, and if you’re mobile, the possibilities of what you can do increase exponentially. Shrimping is about more than just escaping from bad situations. I bring that only to make it clear that you would benefit from not neglecting the other sides of the equation. For example, out of all the videos I watched on shrimping, only two focused on the forward shrimp (or reverse shrimp as it’s also called) and one on the sideways shrimp. The lateral shrimp where you move your hips to a side.īoth of them have many applications, but we tend to focus far more attention on the backwards motion.The forward shrimp where you move your hips in.The backwards shrimp where you move your hips away.There are primarily three types of shrimps: I spent a few hours diving deep into Youtube, and I picked out some of the best videos on shrimping. Just as a forewarning, there will be a lot of videos. It will be split into the following sections: We will explore what the shrimp is and focus on its applications. In fact, I remember struggling with it during my first class, but now I have a stronger concept of how it applies to directly to the art. The movement also doesn’t come naturally to everyone. You’re told how important it is but it is often hard to see the relevance in the beginning. It’s also often included in warmups in gyms all across the world. Shrimping is one of the first movements you learn in Jiu-jitsu.
