PLATE XXXVI
The Elbow Escape Ebi, the shrimp
Plate rendered by AI in the manner of the old engravers, drawn from reference. We are refining every figure toward anatomical exactness; some plates are near perfect and a few still carry small errors. 01
Under mount or side control, turn to your side and set the frame of Plate II.
02
Shrimp the hips away, dragging the near knee into the space the frame created.
03 Precision point
The knee must clear the opponent's hip line completely before the guard closes; a knee halfway home is a knee about to be passed again.
04
Recover the guard and reset your grips before the opponent resets theirs.
Lineage “Ten thousand repetitions of the shrimp buy one lifetime of guards.” Drilling proverb, origin lost to the mats
The shrimping movement is the first drill of the first class in nearly every academy on earth, which is the strongest endorsement the art has ever given any single motion.
