Lesson 4: Take the Back (Mount)

The mount is unquestionably the best place to be in a fight. Once you achieve the mount you must focus all your efforts on maintaining the position. Nine times out of ten, your opponent will fear getting punched in the face and will instantly roll to their knees. If you don’t respond to their roll correctly, you will fall off. Knowing how to achieve the back mount will ensure that you do not lose control and that you take advantage of the opportunity they are creating. In this lesson you will learn how to Take the Back as well as what to do if the opponent begins to slip away from your back mount control.
