Also called Shrimp, Shrimping

The core movement for making space from your back. You push off one foot, move your hips away, and end on your side.

Key steps

  1. Lie on your back and plant one foot near your hip.
  2. Turn onto your side and push off that foot.
  3. Drive your hips back away from your frame.
  4. Frame against them with your hands as your hips move.
  5. Repeat until you have room for your knee or guard.

Key details

  • Move your hips, not your head; the shoulders stay roughly in place.
  • End on your side, not flat on your back.
  • Pair it with frames so they can't follow you.
