Which technique is simply named Shrimping?

• A. Shrimping
• B. Leg Hook and Roll
• C. Shrimp Out/Sit Up
• D. Stiff Arm Get Up

Answer: (A)

Shrimping is the fundamental hip escape used to create space when you’re on the bottom. The move centers on rotating your hips away from your opponent while maintaining a frame to protect yourself, then sliding your hips back to bring your legs back into a guard or to stand. It’s called Shrimping because the action itself is the shrimp-like motion of the hips escaping from pressure, which is exactly the term in the answer. The other options describe different movements or variations—leg hook and roll is a reversal technique, Shrimp Out/Sit Up blends shrimping with a sit-up, and Stiff Arm Get Up is a separate method to stand up while keeping distance. So the simple, proper name that matches the concept is Shrimping.
