Mount Escape and Concepts to Closed Guard (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to use a frame on the opponent’s waist to escape from the mount control. Lucas talks about the importance of using a frame to escape from the mount. He uses the frame to slowly slide the opponent down and locks his elbows in to stop the opponent from moving back up. Lucas then uses a combination of hip movements and his feet as hooks to slide his legs out. Lucas is then able to fully escape and get the closed guard on the opponent.
