Mount Control to Americana (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to maintain the mount control and get the americana submission. Lucas starts on the mount control position. He makes sure to keep his knees high to trap the arms and not allow the opponent to escape. The opponent crosses his arms over the neck to protect from a choke. Lucas grips the top arm by the same side wrist and same side elbow with his other hand. He pushes the arm down to the mat and pins it there. He removes the grip on the elbow and slides his arm under the opponent's to grip his own wrist. Lucas finishes the submission by pulling the arm down and lifting the elbow.
