I am looking for advice on very prone postion escapes. How do I escape from 2 guys pinning my arms to the ground, If I was laying on my stomach, and they are holding my arms down pinning them to the ground? I could kick, but what if they were kind of off to the sides, and I was in a very prone position. I have never seen any escape from this. Would you please teach me?
You escape from that by relaxing and saying "Officers, I want my lawyer", or just wait until you wake up from the shot the nice men in white coats pinning you to the ground are about to give you. Who else is going to get you in that position? The way you escape from that is not let yourself get in that position in the first place, you're pretty well screwed by then. There isn't always an escape from every position.
What made me ask it is that I have never seen any martial artist show these kind of escapes. It is not cops. 2 or more people ( gangs, etc.) can still put you into prone positions to attack or rob you. Can nobody get out if this position, huh?
This is funny, but not why I am asking the question. There are other people that can put you in this prone postion.
My answer would be that you call really loud for your mates to come help you out That, or avra kedavra.
Demain, Thanks for the email, however- It is this; As someone had stated, is not to get into that position in the first place. Once you are that position, it is like being in a car accident. There is nothing you can do once it happens. There is a point of no return You have to practice methods to not get into that position. There is a thing called "hog-tied" and unless you have been practicing "escape artist" tactics, chances are against you. I had belonged to a Magician's Guilde and we had practice minor escape tactics. There is no “easy” or “magic” way out. Any means to escape, took time. From my many decades of observation and experience, the only time I had observed this scenario, is police subduing a perp. The brawls I had seen and been in, no one has the coordination to aid another in actually subduing one person. It is about causing damage to another before they cause damage unto you. And the time to do this is gone so fast, that it seems over in a blink of an eye. You have to practice methods to not get into that position and this type of scenario is a long shot rarity BTW, Welcome aboard
like chadderz said - get to your knees. or retract your arms and try to roll onto your back. its why BJJ tells you to stay off your stomach, your pretty screwed from that position, or you will get screwed (in prison)
