Class notes April 2012: Submissions from mount

Submission from north south: Forgotten what Lee labelled this position as hence north south. Incidentally it is the only one in MMA that regularly receives sarcastic wolf whistle from the audience. Instead of taking the inner forearm head control (guillotine) you assume a reverse version and insert a fist suppression to the front of throat for a painful and swift submission. We then looked at an elbow extension from the same position.

From centre attack (mount) leg over sit on arm. Essentially you are sitting on the shoulder joint. This was my first experience of this position. This does require lower body dexterity as you need to essentially triangle his arm. Take a tricep control keeping the arm nice and tight. From this position we then learned a series of submissions. Firstly fall into an inner leg suppression. It is important to get it in very quick as if you don't they will escape or pass.

Secondly was the arm extension. Thirdly was the horribly painful wrist compression. I was demo dummy for this and had to tap out early on and ask for the demo on my other wrist. A recent fall in a school football match has left me with a very tender wrist. So much so that I can't even do press ups or dips at the moment. Finally we looked at a downward shoulder rotation. Similar to the first submission you need to allow to fall on your back giving them the feeling that they are escaping. Thankfully they are falling into a downwards shoulder rotation. Tonight I learned that in BJJ 2 moves, the kimura and omoplata are both downward shoulder rotations
