The 10th Planet Escape family covers escape techniques for positions unique to Eddie Bravo's 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu system — addressing the specific challenge of escaping the Truck, Twister Side Control, and other proprietary 10th Planet control positions that don't appear in traditional BJJ. [1] As the 10th Planet system gained popularity and its practitioners began using positions like the Truck (back-body control with a calf-crank hook and far-side leg control) in competition, opponents needed to develop escape knowledge for these unfamiliar positions. [1],[2] 10th Planet escapes require understanding the specific mechanics of each position — for example, the Truck escape requires addressing the calf hook before addressing the seatbelt grip, while the Twister defence prioritises preventing the head-pull that completes the spinal crank. [2],[3] Competitors in ADCC, EBI, and no-gi competition increasingly need these escapes as 10th Planet techniques spread beyond the system's original schools. [3]

История и происхождение
10th Planet escape techniques developed as Eddie Bravo's system (founded 2003) gained widespread adoption and opponents began encountering Truck, Twister, and Lockdown positions in competition. [1] The need for specific escapes became apparent when 10th Planet practitioners began winning EBI tournaments and performing well in ADCC. [1],[2] Traditional BJJ practitioners and MMA fighters who encountered these positions without preparation were caught in unfamiliar submissions, driving the development of escape curricula. [2],[3]

Эффективность
10th Planet escapes are increasingly important as the system spreads worldwide. [1] Competitors who understand 10th Planet positions can defend against them effectively; those who don't are vulnerable to unfamiliar submissions. [2] The Truck and Twister have produced numerous submission victories at EBI and ADCC, demonstrating the real competitive threat that makes these escapes necessary. [3]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Breaking the specific control mechanisms of 10th Planet positions (calf hooks, Lockdown, Rubber Guard overhooks, Truck entanglements) to escape to a safe position
Joints Involved — Position-specific — Truck escape requires addressing the calf hook (ankle/knee), seatbelt grip (arms/shoulders), and body positioning; Twister defence requires protecting the neck (cervical spine) from the rotation crank
Force Vector — Against the primary control: directed at the weakest point of each specific 10th Planet position, For escape: lateral or rotational movement to disentangle from the unique leg and arm configurations
Escape Mechanic — 10th Planet positions use leg entanglements and body positioning not found in traditional BJJ; each position has a specific 'key' that must be addressed first — in the Truck, it's the calf hook; in the Twister, it's the head control; in the Lockdown, it's freeing the trapped leg
Позиция и вход
Truck escape — When caught in the Truck (opponent controlling from the back with a calf hook on the far leg), first fight the seatbelt hands to prevent choke threats, then address the calf hook by straightening the leg and sliding the calf free, finally turn to face the opponent and recover guard [1]
Twister defence — When the opponent is setting up the Twister (spinal crank), the priority is preventing them from pulling your head sideways — keep the chin tucked toward the controlled side and fight to free the trapped arm; if the head pull is prevented, the Twister cannot be completed
Lockdown escape — When caught in the opponent's Lockdown half guard, stand up to break the figure-four leg lock; the standing position straightens the leg and breaks the Lockdown configuration [2]

Очень высокий7/10
10th Planet positions like the Truck and Twister target vulnerable areas (calf/knee for calf crank, cervical spine for Twister); failing to escape can result in submission via calf crank, Twister (spinal crank), or rear naked choke from the Truck's back-control element

✓Learn the 10th Planet system to understand the escapes — you can only effectively escape a position you understand; study how Truck, Twister, and Lockdown are applied before drilling escapes [1]
✓The Truck escape priority is: (1) defend the choke, (2) free the calf hook, (3) turn to face the opponent — this sequence is critical
✓Twister defence = chin control — if the opponent cannot pull your head sideways, the Twister cannot be completed; keep the chin tucked toward the controlled side at all costs
✓Against the Lockdown, standing up is the solution — the figure-four leg lock cannot maintain integrity when the trapped leg is fully extended through standing
✓Cross-train with 10th Planet practitioners — the best way to develop escape skills is to train with people who actively use these positions [2]
✓Don't ignore 10th Planet positions — many traditional BJJ practitioners dismiss the system until they encounter it in competition and have no answers
✓The Truck is closely related to the back — Truck escape principles overlap with back escape principles (hand fighting, hip movement, turning to face)
Типичные ошибки
!Not knowing the position — many traditional BJJ practitioners have never seen the Truck or Twister and panic when caught; familiarise yourself with 10th Planet positions in advance
!Addressing the wrong control point first — in the Truck, fighting the seatbelt before the calf hook allows the calf crank to be applied; address the calf hook first
!Allowing the head pull in Twister defence — once the head is pulled laterally, the Twister crank is extremely powerful and difficult to escape; the head must be protected from the first moment
!Trying to muscle out of the Lockdown — the figure-four leg lock is very strong; standing up uses leverage rather than strength to break it
!Not training these escapes — assuming 10th Planet positions are rare or only used by specific practitioners is a dangerous assumption in modern no-gi competition

Guantanamo Escape
ПодсемействоThe Guantanamo Escape is a 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu technique for recovering half guard from the mounted position, using a specific hip movement combined with knee insertion that differs from the standard BJJ elbow-knee mount escape by incorporating the lockdown as the target recovery position rather than simply recovering full guard. [1] When mounted, the standard BJJ escape involves framing with the arms, bridging to create space, and inserting the knee to recover full guard or half guard. [1] The Guantanamo refines this by specifically targeting the lockdown half guard as the recovery position: instead of simply getting a leg inside (standard half guard), the escaping player hooks the opponent's far ankle with their outside foot during the escape, immediately establishing Eddie Bravo's signature lockdown control. [1] This distinction is tactically significant: a standard half guard recovery from mount puts the bottom player in a DEFENSIVE half guard (where they must rebuild their offensive game from scratch), while the Guantanamo's lockdown recovery puts them in an OFFENSIVE half guard (the lockdown immediately threatens sweeps via the Jean Jacques, Electric Chair, and Godfather systems). [1] The name 'Guantanamo' — in Bravo's characteristic naming style — references the idea of being imprisoned (mounted) and executing a sophisticated escape: you're not just getting out of prison (recovering guard), you're escaping into a position where you can fight back immediately (the lockdown offensive system). [1] The technique was specifically designed for the no-gi environment where gi-dependent mount escapes (collar grips, sleeve grips) are unavailable, and the lockdown provides a grip-free leg control that functions without fabric. [1]

Часто задаваемые вопросы
How do I prevent my opponent from escaping the 10th Planet Escape by controlling their knee?
According to Alder Hampel, by placing your foot under the opponent's knee, you eliminate their rolling options and escape routes before they can attack your foot with a toe hold.
What's the key to making the heel hook more effective in this position?
Alder Hampel explains that the more the opponent's knee is bent on the heel hook, the more effective it becomes, so sitting up as you apply it increases its power.
What should I do if I have a bad back and want to escape this position?
Alder Hampel recommends avoiding the arching escape if you have a bad back; instead, push your opponent away with your feet and pull to escape, which is easier on the spine.
