What is Sit-Out in BJJ?

The sit-out is a wrestling escape from the bottom or turtle position where you kick one leg through while posting on your hand, turning to face the opponent. It is effective for escaping turtle, referee's position, and front headlock situations. The sit-out is a fundamental movement borrowed from wrestling and is essential for any grappler who wants effective turtle escapes. Timing the sit-out when the opponent shifts their weight is key.
