Countering the elbow mount escapes

The elbow escape is probably the most common escape you’ll face when controlling someone from mount—so you need to know how to counter it. In this video, I look at how to recognise the escape early, stop your opponent from freeing their leg and use their movement to climb into high mount. From there, we can maintain control or begin attacking the Ezekiel choke. Rather than simply holding mount, the aim is to use your opponent’s escape attempt to improve your own position and create an attacking opportunity. #BJJ #MountControl #EzekielChoke
