Knee/Elbow Escape Variation from Mount by Xande Ribeiro

Xande Ribeiro shows a variation of the elbow escape from mount, demonstrating that inside position of the elbow of against the attackers knee is of secondary importance to making sure the hips & knees are all the way down aligned with the defenders hips rather than climbing up. After achieving this, getting inside position with the escaping leg is easy and the knee/elbow escape can be hit even without getting the elbow inside the knee.
