Mount Control Self Defense Options (Fundamentals)

Professor Edson Oliveira discusses the importance of reacting to an opponent's actions in grappling. He explains that anticipating and countering an opponent's reactions is crucial, particularly in self-defense scenarios. He uses examples like countering an arm extension or a turn, showing how to transition to armbars, back takes, and other attacks from the mount position. He emphasizes forcing the opponent into uncomfortable positions to elicit reactions and capitalize on their mistakes.
