Add to Favorites Remove From Favorites 655 27 days ago
From his opponent's half guard, Eduardo pushes the knee and moves to three quarter mount position. He pins his opponent's wrist to the mat, traps the other arm with his arm and steps his free leg over the head, as he would for a monoplata. From here he sits back and adjusts his position to finish the armbar.

Now Saulo is in S mount attacking the arm, but his opponent is able to pull it out, so immediately Saulo traps the other arm. Using his posted hand to help him, he swings his hips to face the other direction and settles on the mat ready to finish the armbar.

From the S-mount, when Saulo is attacking the arm and throws his leg over the head, it is very important that he stays leaning at an angle and not rising up. Again, by lifting his body, he gives his opponent the space to free his arm. In the case his opponent doesn't push, and leaves his arm trapped, Saulo controls the chicken wing and works for head and arm control.
Inside the University 605 - Swinging the Leg to S Mount
Add to Favorites 696 Remove From Favorites 40 days ago
Correcting a common mistake, Saulo points out how your leg must swing fluidly to the S mount, while keeping your hips low. Many people raise their hips to get there, and end up giving too much space for their opponent to escape. That's why you need to make sure swing your leg along the mat without sitting up.

After getting to his S mount position, Saulo attacks the armbar by wrapping the arm from the outside, rather than feeding his other arm from the inside. This way, he has the angle to attack the second arm if his opponent is able to pull away the first arm.

After Saulo steps over and gets to the mount position on his opponent, he leans to the side at an angle with his hand posting on the mat, and swings his leg to an S position. With his S mount, he can put more pressure on his opponent and also has a better angle to attack the arm. If his opponent is able to defend the first arm, he has the leverage he needs to attack the second arm.
Inside the University 602 - Side Control to Mount to Armbar
Add to Favorites 665 Remove From Favorites 43 days ago
From side control, Saulo keeps heavy pressure on his opponent by staying on his toes, rather than resting on his knees. He opens his hips and whips his leg over the body. He settles in this position, waiting for his opponent to push and bridge, giving Saulo the opportunity to square his hips and climb to a high mount. Now he can trap the arm and get the armbar.

Add to Favorites 523 Remove From Favorites 81 days ago
Starting from hip to shoulder control, Xande walks over the head to the other side, using his elbow to open his opponent's arm as he goes. Once on the other side, he gets a hip to shoulder control and his arm is going down the back, completely trapping the his opponent's far arm. Now he can easily step over to mount since his opponent cannot defend on the far side.

Again from hip to shoulder control, Xande is looking to mount but his opponent is keeping his legs up ready to block him. Xande uses his forearm to create a frame across the thighs and cups the far leg. From here he pulls the legs as he slides his knee across the body, trapping both legs between his foot and hand. Now he can bring his leg all the way over and establish the mount.
Xande's Dominant Control Series 8 - Transition to Mount from Hip to Shoulder Control
Add to Favorites 574 Remove From Favorites 84 days ago
When looking to mount from hip to shoulder control, Xande must make sure that he opens his opponent's inside elbow before stepping over. He does this by bringing his hip forward and underneath the armpit, and then walking the arm back. Then he brings his knee to the hip and is ready to step over to mount. If he does not clear the arm first, his opponent will likely be able to frame and recover guard.
Xande's Dominant Control Series 7 - Timing Your Power Knee Slide to Mount
Add to Favorites 650 Remove From Favorites 86 days ago
In the previous video, Xande showed the best case scenario of the power knee slide, but now is a little more practical against a good opponent who is keeping his elbow tight to his body. So now Xande places his knee on the outside of the arm and turns the head by closing his far elbow and applying shoulder pressure. Next he brings his knee across the body at an upward angle, and opens the far elbow with his shoulder. This gives him the space he needs to bring his leg all the way over to mount.
