Mount is a tough position to get out of, and if you’re doing MMA or any type of grappling art that combines striking, being on the bottom can mean trouble.
So how do you get out of mount?
Believe it or not, if you have so much as one stripe on your white belt, you probably already have the moves you need to escape. The key, as Coach Tom points out in this video, is to use combinations. You could be the best boxer in the world, but if you only used one strike, you’d probably get knocked out in most of your matches.
The same philosophy holds for BJJ. Use combinations when escaping, and you’re success rates will increase tenfold.
