Introduction to Double Attack from Mount
The double attack from mount is a foundational technique in the basic jiu jitsu curriculum. This position emphasizes control and tactical awareness before committing to offensive submissions. Proper mount stabilization is essential before executing any attacking sequences.
Establishing Solid Mount Position
The instructor demonstrates critical mount control principles: keep your head aligned with the opponent's head, press your torso firmly against theirs, and extend their legs away from their body to weaken their base. When the opponent attempts to lift the hips, rock your foot under their buttocks to prevent movement and maintain dominance.
First Attack: Deep Lapel Grip
Attack with one arm driving deep inside the opponent's lapel while keeping the opposite arm busy near the knee. Position your body weight to the side where your arm is occupied. This setup prepares the opponent to defend with an underhook escape attempt.
Countering the Underhook Escape
When the opponent attempts an underhook roll, immediately lift their shoulder and insert your knee behind their back while maintaining arm control on their buttocks. Keep your legs compressed to block the escape route and prevent them from regaining mount position.
Second Attack: Lapel Switch
Transition to attacking the opposite lapel by switching your grip and repositioning your head closer to the opponent's head. Secure a tight grip deep in the collar, then switch to the second lapel to create continuous pressure. This double attack sequence forces the opponent to defend multiple angles simultaneously.
Guard Pass Following Escape
If the opponent successfully escapes the mount, maintain pressure by passing their leg while controlling their position. Keep your weight distributed to prevent them from regaining their guard. This continuation ensures positional dominance even when the initial submission attacks fail.
Defensive Responses and Adjustments
The instructor demonstrates multiple defensive counters the opponent may attempt during the sequence. When facing resistance, prepare alternative attacks such as the open guard transition or lapel switch. Speed and adaptability are crucial, as a skilled opponent will react quickly to initial attacks.
Escape and Counter Techniques
From the bottom mount position, drive your hips explosively while securing a strong lapel grip and pulling the opponent toward you. Immediately insert your knee inside their leg to prevent them from reestablishing mount. Push them away and create space to transition to guard or standing escape.
