Establishing the Mount Position
From mount control, the instructor secures a cross-face grip by positioning the thumb inside the opponent's collar. The elbow is driven tight against the chest to prevent the opponent from creating space or escaping underneath.
Hand Placement and Control
The grip hand is positioned with the thumb inserted into the collar, with the elbow locked down firmly. The hand should be drawn as close to the neck as possible while keeping the elbow pinned to the opponent's center chest to maximize control.
Weight Distribution and Positioning
The instructor maintains a low center of gravity with knees spread wide to prevent being rolled. Weight is distributed to the side opposite the anticipated direction of escape, allowing for mobility while maintaining dominant position.
Transitioning to the Attack
From the established control, the instructor uses elbow pressure to manipulate the opponent's head position. Material is caught and the body drops low to begin the finishing sequence.
The Double Elbow Compression Finish
Both elbows are pulled backward simultaneously, eliminating space between the hands around the opponent's neck and arm. This creates intense compressive pressure rather than simply pinching a single limb.
Responding to Elbow Defense
When the opponent's elbow rises in response to the compression, the instructor follows the movement upward by inserting the knee and hip. This maintains control while driving the arm further into submission position.
Capturing and Finishing the Armbar
The free leg crosses over the opponent's body as the trapped arm is secured with the elbow. The submission is completed by driving the hips upward while controlling the arm across the body.
Alternative Finish from Collar Control
If the primary finish is unsuccessful, the instructor can reverse position and work from the opposite collar grip. This maintains control and provides an alternative finishing angle for the submission.
