Here are a few unique opportunities that arise occasionally, which actually make submissions available from inferior positions. It is obviously better to gain the superior position, control and take the submission safely from there…however, sometimes the element of surprise from a bottom submission can take someone off guard.

These are some takedowns that I personally feel don’t require you to have a ton of Judo or Wrestling proficiency. I have hit these takedowns on people that have much better takedown ability than I do, but because of the nature of how these are set up and executed, they are difficult to stop.

It should go without saying that these are obviously for a sportive context, but there are elements as always that are applicable to beyond just sport competition.

Here are some of the best, high percentage submissions from the mount. The mount, while a very dominant position, isn’t always the easiest to find submissions from against an opponent with solid defense. These attacks start from basic and get progressively more deceptive and tricky, making them very difficult to see coming and defend.

Here are quite a lot of submissions from closed guard. These go from pretty basic to a little more complex, but all are pretty useful and high percentage after some practice and drilling. Let me know what you think and please like and subscribe!

Getting mounted sucks, but these techniques and concepts help it to suck a little less. Far from a comprehensive guide to escaping mount, this provides a nice framework for getting out of this difficult position. I hope this helps. Let me know what you think.
