How To Stop Losing Mount Position in BJJ (2 Fundamental Adjustments)

Ever have trouble holding the mount position in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? It used to be a big problem for me and I know a lot of people who struggle with it. So in this video I touch on a couple of simple ideas to chew on in order to make your mount position stronger.

In the video I show a modified position that allows me to attack armlocks but it's also good for holding the mount position itself. The reason is that by going to the position that I show in the video I disable 2 of the necessary things a person needs to escape efficiently. Frames and hip power. Without these, escaping mount is going to be difficult.

This will allow you to hold the position longer and increase your chances of getting a submission.

So I hope this video helps Brett and hopefully it helps you too!

Sometimes I wish there were bigger like buttons for when someone makes a video this good.

I've tried this out during rolling. As the lighter guy, you've single-handedly shot my full mount retention through the roof. Thank you Chewy!

I used this last night on an upper belt -
I’m only a month in- and it worked so good 😊
He was stumped and asked where I learned this -
“YouTube!” 😂
My school doesn’t have a fundamentals class 🤷‍♀️ so between your video/podcast and books - I’ve been doing homework 📚

Seriously- as a white belt trying not to get smashed this video was a game changer 😂

Could you do a second part to this video regarding specific finishes once you isolate the arm in mount?

This is distilled knowledge and wisdom from years and years of BJJ given away for FREE. I turn adblock off when I watch Nick’s videos but in general I don’t think we don’t give him enough appreciation.

Dude, chewy is hilarious. Why do I do this as he's flailing his arms about. Gotta love the humor an knowledge he brings.... also thanks Adam lol

Rofl I was just thinking about how crap I am at full mount tyty chewy

[upstateSCairsofter]

I’ve only been doing strictly jiu jitsu for the last 2-3 months. What I love is when I discover little fundamental pieces and nuggets as time progresses and then Chewy comes along with the perfect video to synchronize them all together. I love the fundamental videos, dude. It helps me piece it all together very well which helps me out a ton. You rock

[metalmayfantasy]

Yeah, I have a hard time holding full mount. I feel so light and easy to thrown off (no matter how small or big they are). Thanks!

[vikingjoebloggs]

This right here. This is something I am taking back to the mats when we get back

[rlawjdgn]

Dude your tips about jiu-jitsu work so good👍 it helped me a lot

[RicoMnc]

I'm just getting successful enough at defending and moving to look for these opportunities to go on offense. Almost everyone at our school is significantly bigger and stronger than me, so holding mount is a challenge.

2 stripe white belt here, we are working on the mount this month, this is GREAT! Love it, thanks boys.

[bagoftricks]

This is actually a godsend.... thank you so much

[spacemonkey]

Bro i love these videos in general but when you add the conceptual aspects of what your trying to achieve it really takes the learning to the next level. Thanks again.

[BrosephGordon-Levitt]

My god I needed this video so badly… I always find a way to get full mount as a no stripe white belt. But I can’t maintain full mount control to save my life. Can’t wait to implement this technique at my next class. Thank you so much!

[chriskwilas]

love this, thank you!
two stripe white belt here haha..always being chucked off

[notvisible]

I liked it before it even started cause I just knew it was gonna be good.

[stephenroach]

Just what I needed. I could get to mount but bumped off over and over this weekend. I now see things I was doing wrong. Thank you Chewy!
