Mount

Brazilian jiu-jitsu / Popular

Keep the mount and stop your opponent bucking you off.

What coaches agree on

  • Climb your weight up toward the head and chest, off your opponent's hips - the higher your mount, the less their bridge can move you.
  • Keep your hands actively controlling your opponent's arms - pinning a wrist, securing an underhook, or gripping the collar - instead of resting them on the mat.

  • Lock or cross your legs around your opponent's hips rather than leaving them loose; it anchors your position against their bridge.

Mount Escape to X Guard

Coach's take: Useful if you already have the pieces -- this isn't teaching hip escape from scratch.
