High mount

A mount with your knees walked up close to their armpits, so your weight sits on their chest and their elbow escape has nothing to work with. It opens the armbar, collar chokes and the triangle.

Key steps

  1. Start in mount with your knees tight to their sides and your weight low.
  2. Lift one of their elbows off the ribs and slide your knee up under that armpit.
  3. Repeat on the other side, walking your knees up in small steps.
  4. Sit your weight onto their chest and keep your hands ready to post.

Key details

  • Climb when their elbows leave their ribs, such as when they push on your chest.
  • Move one knee at a time; lifting both at once gives them a gap to bridge into.
