The mount seems like a great position to use to land an Americana on your opponent, but those of us who’ve actually tried it know that it’s not as easy as it appears.

In this video, David Morcegao of Invisible Jiu-Jitsu demonstrates how to make this submission work better for you from this position. Check out the details he shows and see if they make your mounted Americanas more effective!
