Find a sweepExplore position →The quintessential dominant position where you sit on top of your opponent's torso with both knees on the ground. Mount gives you gravity, posture, and access to a huge variety of submissions including armbars, chokes, and americanas. Maintaining mount is about hip pressure and anticipating escapes.
Find an escapeExplore position →A fundamental pin where you are chest-to-chest with your opponent, perpendicular to their body, with no legs entangled. Side control is the most common position reached after passing guard. From here you can transition to mount, knee on belly, north-south, or attack with kimuras, americanas, and chokes.
