Escaping from the bottom position while mounted is one of the first things you learn in jiu-jitsu. Escaping from mount may be the most important things to know from a self defense perspective. If you have ever found yourself in a fight on the bottom with someone mounted on you and laying haymakers, you know how powerless you feel.
Luckily we have jiu-jitsu which teaches us how to escape from this dangerous situation and get back to a better position to defend ourselves from. This first video goes over 5 techniques that show how to escape. The first 2 techniques are what my school taught as “Mount Escape 1”. In the next video, what Prof. Danaher shows is what we call “Mount Escape 2”.
