Mounting high on the chest gives your partner room to bridge and roll. Sit low — hips near the belt line — and sprawl your weight through your knees.
Leaning forward to grab the collar before establishing hooks invites the upa escape. Secure weight distribution before attacking.
Without controlling the hips through knee pressure and foot hooks, escapes become trivially easy. Drive knees inward and maintain active pressure.
Losing base while attacking submissions allows reversals. Keep your base wide, weight centered, and never over-commit to a single attack.
