Обзор
The Mounted Crucifix subfamily covers the mount variation where the top fighter has trapped both of the opponent's arms — one under a leg and the other controlled by the hands — while mounted, completely immobilising the bottom fighter. [1] The mounted crucifix combines the dominance of the mount with the arm control of the crucifix, creating one of the most controlling positions in grappling. [1],[2] It allows completely undefended strikes in MMA and a wide range of submission attacks in grappling. [2],[3]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Gravity-assisted top control — body weight pins the opponent's torso to the ground
Joints Involved — Attacker's hips (heavy base), knees (clamped for ride control), opponent's spine (pinned)
Force Vector — Downward — gravity plus active hip pressure maximises control and submission opportunities
Positional Mechanic — High mount raises the centre of gravity above the opponent's shoulder line, isolating their arms for attacks
Позиция и вход
From guard pass completion — After passing the guard, establish mount by placing knees on either side of the opponent's torso
From sweep — Complete a sweep from guard and land directly in mount position on top
From side control (knee slide) — From side control, slide the knee across the opponent's belly and settle into mount

✓Mounted crucifix traps both of the opponent's arms from mount — one arm is controlled by the legs (trapped between the top player's legs) and the other is controlled by the arms — creating a completely helpless position (Danaher, Mount Attacks, 2020)
✓The mounted crucifix is the most dominant mount variation: the opponent has zero arms available for defence
✓The arm trapped by the legs: from mount, the top player threads one leg over the opponent's arm, pinning it between the thighs
✓The arm controlled by the hands: the opposite arm is gripped at the wrist or overhook'd
✓From mounted crucifix, every submission is available: armbar (on either arm), cross choke, Ezekiel choke, and strikes (MMA)
✓Mounted crucifix in MMA is fight-ending: the opponent cannot defend strikes with both arms trapped
✓The position is rare in competition because it requires precise control, but when achieved, it is nearly inescapable
Типичные ошибки
!Not securing the leg trap on the first arm — the leg must completely pin the arm between the thighs
!Losing control of the second arm while trapping the first — both arms must be managed simultaneously
!Staying in mounted crucifix without attacking — the position is for finishing; attack immediately
!Not maintaining mount stability during the arm traps — the mount must remain solid throughout
!Attempting mounted crucifix against a skilled opponent without setup — use combinations from mount to create the openings
!Trapping arms that are not committed — catch the arms when the opponent reaches or frames
!Not training the mounted crucifix transition — the path from mount to crucifix requires specific drilling

Часто задаваемые вопросы
How do I stay stable in mounted crucifix when my opponent is bucking?
Use your striking arm to post on the mat when your opponent bucks, which will keep you stable and in control of the position.
Should I keep my hips tight or open in mounted crucifix?
Matthew Elliott notes that opening your hips gives you more power for punches, but keeping them tight makes escape harder for your opponent—since the position is so dominant that a TKO typically happens in a few shots, hip positioning for power is the priority.
What submissions can I attack from mounted crucifix?
From this position you can attack an Americana on the arm your opponent has raised defensively, or apply an armlock by placing your elbow on their hip bone and raising up to finish.
