    More Questions

    How do I prevent them from escaping my arm triangle from mount?

    To prevent escapes, focus on maintaining tight hip pressure and controlling their posture. Keep your chest glued to their face and use your legs to pinch their hips, preventing them from bridging or shrimping out.

    What if they defend by tucking their chin?

    If they tuck their chin, you can try to use your shoulder to drive into their neck and force their head to turn. Alternatively, you can adjust your grip to a S-grip or gable grip on their far arm to maintain control and continue to apply pressure.

    My arm triangle from mount feels weak, what am I doing wrong?

    A weak arm triangle often stems from poor body positioning. Ensure your chest is low and heavy on their face, your hips are elevated and driving forward, and your choking arm is deep behind their head. A tight seal with your arm and shoulder is crucial.
