Mount Top Fundamentals | Passing from Side Control | Dynamic Control & Pressure | Americana

In this video we take a comprehensive look at Mount Top and a number of its variations. Applicable for both Gi & NoGi BJJ, we cover multiple passes from Side Control position while also looking at how to hold a good Side Control position itself before setting up our passes. Once in our mount top position we discuss a variety of options to dynamically control and apply pressure to our opponents depending on their responses such as Staple Mount or Twisted Mount / Single Grapevine. We finish up with a super tight and simple Americana from Mount Top.
