Now that we have a better understanding of how to position ourselves when we are mounted, we will start working our escapes. Your opponent has many attack options from mount, so first let's look at the Elbow Knee Escape to recover guard or take the back when your opponent is coming in for the right handed cross-collar grip.
Whether your opponent prefers a left hand cross-collar grip or they have grown wise to your right handed counter, this elbow knee to butterfly guard escape will open the doors wide for you.
Simplicity at it's finest when utilizing proper framing.
What if, what if, what if...my opponent wraps my head?
No worries bro, we got shoulder pins for that.
With great framing and counter grips your opponent might abandon a traditional mount and transition to a technical mount. When we find ourselves in this position, the Leg Heist Mount Escape will truly provide you with the opportunity to turn the tables and control the fight.
