BB Tarca showed a nice Counter to the Collar Grab and I can't break the grip.
 1. Cross grip his grip.
 2. Other arm - leading with elbow - comes over the top of his arm and under, reaches for the belt at his back.
 3. My head pushes into his chest, circle counterclockwise, walk towards his head to Pass into Side Control.
 4. Armbar finish: right foot comes up, left knee gets tight against arm under the armpit.

PB Ira tips for Bottom game: my lower body is crap, just too flat. Not moving. That's why I'm so easy to Pass. I need to frame, shrimp and get my legs in, knees in tight. Work my legs in. Don't let people occupy the "Pocket" area in front on my chest, hip area as they try to Pass.
  Need to work on it.

Update on the Mora Leg Trap Armbar ESC. Works very well, except today I was rolling with BB Jim. Had the leg trapped. But he was very heavy with the other leg on top of my face, I just couldn't get that leg off my face to do the full escape. I was huffing and pulling and there was pressure on my forearm and it was close to a forearm slicer.
  Was scared. Didn't have faith in the tech to let go and believe that he couldn't finish with his leg trapped. Should have let go and used my other hand to get his leg off my face? Eventually he angled away and got his leg out and finished the Armbar.
  Let's review the Vid. -- Ohhh. that's what i did wrong. I'm supposed to GIVE him the arm and as tries to finish ... I turn into him and COME UP. Sheesh.
