4 Different Possible Shrimping/Epi Strategies

#1 Escape my hips to the side using my same side foot to push off the ground while thrusting my arms forward as if blocking my opponent’s hips.

#2 Escape my hips up and to the side using my same side foot to push off the ground while bringing my elbow in close to my ribs ready to turn to my stomach if necessary.

#3 Escape my hips to the side using my same side foot to push off the ground while bringing my other knee as close to my forehead as possible.

#4 Any of the above three, but this time using both feet to push off the ground instead of one. When I use both feet there’s a slight hip shuffle that precedes the hip escape.

In general, I like to have the same side foot planted on the ground at all time, even after I’ve finished the hip escape, because it allows me to transition quickly with another hip escape (forward, backward, or sideways) if I need to.
