Americana From Mount Position (Fundamentals)

Professor Donovan Espinosa teaches how to get the americana submission from the mount. Donovan has the opponent in the mount position and the opponent tries to defend by crossing his arms. Donovan pushes the top arm down by controlling the wrist and the elbow. Once on the mat, he releases the elbow grip and slides his hand under the opponent’s to grip his own wrist. Donovan then curls his wrists down and lifts the back of the opponent’s elbow. The arms is then slid down towards the hips to finish the submission.
