Side control to mount

Move from side control to mount by sliding your knee across their belly. Stay chest-heavy so they can't block the knee or turn in to you.

Key steps

  1. Keep your chest heavy and turn their head away with a crossface.
  2. Clear their near arm away from their hip so it can't block your knee.
  3. Slide the knee nearest their hips across their belly, low and tight.
  4. Post your foot on the far side and settle your hips down into mount.

Key details

  • Slide the knee along their belly; lifting it high opens space for their elbow.
  • If they block with a knee, step over it or go to knee on belly first.
