There are two fundamental forms of mount to select from, which I name high and low. As soon as you’ve got achieved mount, I discover that low mount gives essentially the most management. First off, you wish to immobilise their hips, as their most important technique of creating area is to bridge up forcefully.
Carry your ft proper again, threading them round their legs to determine two hooks: this is called a grapevine. Alternatively, you may also cross your ft beneath (or simply close to, relying in your flexibility and leg size) their bum, which has the benefit of creating it a lot tougher for them to push your hooks off. Your knees are ideally off the bottom, to generate most strain. How far off the bottom they’re is dependent upon your dimensions: the secret’s getting a great deal of hip strain. An alternative choice, which I discovered from Rob Stevens at Gracie Barra Birmingham, is to place the soles of your ft collectively after which convey your knees proper off the ground.
Whichever possibility you are going for, thrust these hips into them. It is essential to get right into a place the place you possibly can thrust your hips down, slightly than getting bunched up so your bum begins going into the air. Use your fingers for base, the place once more you have got a few choices. Both have each arms out, or put one beneath the pinnacle (bear in mind, you possibly can at all times take away it for base in case you’re actually getting thrown onerous to that facet) whereas the opposite goes out extensive for base.
Attempt to grip the gi materials by their reverse shoulder, and even higher, by the alternative armpit. Preserve your head on the basing arm facet, loading up your weight there. In the event that they’re bridging onerous, you possibly can swap backward and forward, lifting their head barely and bringing your different arm beneath, which means your remaining arm bases out to the opposite facet.
To do the lure and roll/upa escape, they might want to get management of your arm. So, do not allow them to seize it and crush your arm to their facet. As a substitute, swim your arm via, like Ryron and Rener exhibit within the third slice of the third lesson in Gracie Combatives. Make sure to do it separately, or chances are you’ll get each arms squashed to your sides.
