Inverted Mount
Dominant mount w/ modern pressure & submission chains.
Flow outline
Mount
- Often The classic top position where you're sitting on their chest. From here, you can transition to Low Mount for pressure or S-Mount for submission hunting
Low Mount
- usually heavy pressure position with hips low. perfect for mother's milk or setting up ezekiel chokes when they try to bridge. angle matters
S-Mount
- From here, the money position. one knee by their head, other foot by their hip. is where you hunt armbars and chokes with maximum control
S-Mount Armbar
- From here, most of the time classic mounted armbar from s-mount. grab their outside leg to prevent the roll, then extend for the tap. shin-on-head variation adds extra pressure
S-Mount Triangle
- If they frame, usually theoretical triangle from top position. high risk but can catch them off guard if they over-defend the armbar
Mounted Americana
- Once set, classic shoulder lock from mount. works great when they keep their arms tight to their body
S-Mount Americana
- Tight americana variation from S-Mount. More leverage and control than standard mounted version. Don’t force it
Quick S-Mount Armbar
- quick note: fast armbar when they're clinching their arms too loosely. catch it before they can defend properly. switch if it stalls
Mother's Milk
- Smother choke from Low Mount. Use your chest to cover their face while controlling their arms. Old school but effective
Le Bell Armbar
- Creative armbar variation when they cross their arms. Pretzel twist style that catches them by surprise. Don’t force it
Overlapping Hands Americana
- Americana setup when their hands overlap in defense. Isolate that top arm and crank. Angle matters
Gooseneck Wristlock
- Once set, wrist attack from americana position when they won't tap. sneaky submission that complements the shoulder lock
S-Mount From Crossface
- Entry to S-Mount using crossface grip. Control their head and transition smoothly into attacking position
Elbow Crank
- Often Pressure submission from S-Mount when they defend the armbar. Not always legal in competition but effective in training. Timing beats strength
Gogoplata
- Often Shin choke from S-Mount. Advanced submission that uses your shin against their throat. High percentage if you get the angle right. Timing beats strength
