Mount

Mount is one of the most dominant positions in BJJ, where the top player straddles the opponent’s torso with knees pinning to the mat and hips stabilized. From mount, the attacker can strike in MMA, submit with armlocks, chokes, or maintain control to score points in sport BJJ.

Maintaining mount requires attention to weight distribution, balance, and posture to prevent escapes. Common variations include high mount, low mount, and technical mount, each offering unique angles for attack and control.

Mount is not only a finishing position but a demonstration of dominance in grappling. Its effectiveness lies in the ability to control the opponent while threatening multiple submissions, making it a foundational skill for competitive and self-defense BJJ.
