In no-gi, you can often power out using explosive movements, but it&#8217;s a nightmare to escape in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elitesports.com\/collections\/brazilian-jiu-jitsu-bjj-gis\">Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gi<\/a> &#8211; against a good guy with good top control anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When in mount, many will establish &#8216;grape vines&#8217; by lacing their legs underneath the other guy&#8217;s knees and then hooking the feet &#8211; kinda looks like frog-legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Establishing Full Mount<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get into full mount, you <strong>don&#8217;t <\/strong>want to just &#8216;throw your leg over&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put your knee on your partner&#8217;s belly and slide it across<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If they block you with a &#8216;high knee&#8217;, you can also look for a wrestler&#8217;s cradle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once in mount, I personally like to get &#8216;grapevines&#8217;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grape Vines are shown here:<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/G7_eMcYpYeY?t=18s\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/G7_eMcYpYeY?t=18s<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From here you can wrap one arm around the underneath of the head, and place your free hand out to the side to stabilise yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the opponent frees himself from the grapvines, then establish a high mount, with your knees near his armpits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are high up on his body, he\/she will struggle to use his\/her hips to bridge you off and escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From mount, you can punch, elbow in MMA and look for submissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-blue-color has-text-color\">Submissions From Mount<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From mount you can look for a head and arm triangle (my fave) an Americana, an arm bar or a mounted triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a vid of me securing an arm triangle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center;
