No, fortunately for you this is Rumsoakedfist with a healthy dose of "what can work reliably on the ground." If you really want to survive the wrong side of a dominant position then learning positional escapes and reversals is the only reliable way to get out safely. Yes you can grab at pinkies and poke at eyes or try and cop a bit of a feel, but seriously, if its getting dirty on the ground there's nothing stopping him from doing the same to you.
I resisted learning BJJ as strongly as anyone, probably more (no really...). But swallow your pride and do some technical man-hugging, it won't ruin your ability to do San-ti, I promise.
