Fix Your BJJ Mount Escape with These Step-by-Step Position Tips

Do you have plenty of techniques to escape Mount but yet you still have trouble escaping the position? If so then this video may be useful to you. In many cases it could be your setup and the sequence you use to execute your escape. In today’s BJJ technique video I show some details on escaping Mount with a focus on the strategy of it rather than just the technique itself. This should hopefully help you have a better understanding as to the “why” you’re doing what you’re doing in this Brazilian Jiujitsu position.

 

 

The basic sequence I show in the video looks something like this:

– Free the leg to have a bridge

– Bring hands together to setup frames and get inside control of the position

– Begin to setup mount escapes

 

This has made my escapes from Mount so much better and has also helped out many of my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu student’s with their escapes from a tight Mount position as well.

 

If you’re struggling to escape Mount then I hope this video is useful to you.
