In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a "Bridge and Roll" is a fundamental escape technique, primarily used to get out of the mount position, where the practitioner uses their hips to create space by "bridging" and then rolls their body over to regain a more favorable position, often ending up in guard, by isolating and trapping one of the opponent's arms and legs on the same side while rolling over them; it's also sometimes called the "Upa" escape.

Key points about the Bridge and Roll:

Mechanism:
By bridging, the practitioner lifts their hips high, creating space to roll over their opponent while maintaining control of the trapped arm and leg.

Application:
It is mainly used to escape from the mount position, but it can be applied in other situations where you need to create space and transition positions.

Important aspects:
Isolating one arm and leg on the same side, creating a strong bridge with the hips, and rolling smoothly toward the trapped limb.
