Effective Mount Escape is a Lifesaver against Bigger People in BJJ

Today’s BJJ technique is a mount escape that I like using against people that are bigger or stronger than me. Granted you can do the mount escape just fine if the person is the same size or smaller than you. But it works great when your bridge isn’t very effective at off balancing someone. . . a problem that’s pretty common against bigger stronger opponents in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

In the video I’ll go over some basics about mount like setting up frames and being mindful of arm positioning. But overall it’s a simple escape that you can add into the mix at your next Brazilian Jiujitsu training session.

If you’re a half guard player and have either watched my half guard videos on the youtube channel or have my Half Guard Sweeper series then you’ll notice that the escape puts you right into the half guard with the outside hook. Which is a great sweeping position.

Anyways, if you’re struggling to escape full mount against bigger stronger opponents then I hope this technique helps!
