Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Excellent results
This is a very good instructional video. It goes in depth into all components of the mount position. Including counters to different methods that maybe utilized against you. It just so happened that the day I viewed this video we had a visitor at our academy and we were practicing positional sparing. I was paired with the visitor and we went 2 rounds each alternating mount positions. I have never felt so much control of my opponent while in mount. This video gave me the tools to dominate someone that was bigger and with whom I have never trained with. Rarely have I experienced such drastic and immediate results from a video.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Would buy it again

The small details he gives really make a difference with maintaining mount.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Priceless
If you are fascinated by old school techniques made to work for the modern game, then there’s no one better on BJJ Fanatics than Pedro Sauer, Henry Akins and Fabio Gurgel. This is a great instructional since it doesn’t rely on brute strength and size alone. Pure nuggets of wisdom.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Can't go wrong with Pedro
Can't go wrong with Pedro Sauer. One of the best bjj instructors! Tons of experience (50 years) and a lot of knowledge. Great explanations of technique and little hidden details that make a BIG difference . I have all his instructionals. Hoping to see more in the future. But most of all I'm inspired of how long he has been on the mat and hope to be trading well into his age. Longevity in this game is key!

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Unlocking the secrets of the mount position
Great details by Professor Pedro Sauer. He is not using strength to neutralize escape attempts but using leverage and small adjustments to make your mount solid and harder to escape. I was able to add this immediately to my game and it makes dealing with strong younger oppenents easier.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:The secret is in the details to hold and submit from the mount
Objective of this instructional The objective of this instructional is to teach you how to defeat your opponent’s attempts to escape mount bottom by using either the elbow escape or the upa escape and to teach a range of effective submissions, while confidently maintaining the mount. Content Volume 1 (31 minutes and 9 chapters including the introduction) covers: how (i.e. appropriate angle of the foot for the circumstances) and where you should place your feet when in the mount top position, the importance of keeping your legs soft and consequently allowing your opponent to move your knee outwards from your body rather than backwards and therefore not allowing them to get their leg under your leg (i.e., to defend against the entry of an elbow escape); the importance of keeping your opponent flat, so that (for most people) they can’t easily place their escaping leg flat on the mat and how to do this; how you should connect with your opponent, appropriately position yourself and move your hips, legs and feet to make it difficult for your opponent to successfully use the elbow escape; how to deal with the opponent’s arm when they are pushing your leg and the requirement to avoid your leg being pushed in a line parallel to their leg; how to reposition the opponent’s arm from your knee using a walking hand motion (i.e. “the jack”) and using connection (i.e. initially with your body and the floor); how to disconnect an opponent’s elbow from inside your leg by walking their head; and the windshield wiper technique, which can be used to hide your lower leg, if they advance the elbow escape. Volume 2 (30 minutes and 10 chapters) covers: how to deflect their frame across your hips or deal with the opponent’s hands on your hips; how to respond to a bridging opponent; how to respond to a stiff single arm bridge; what to do if the opponent gets both of their arms deep inside one of your legs with the aim of escaping; dealing with a situation where the opponent bucks you forward and then wraps his arms around your torso (i.e., body lock); how to deal with an opponent with their hands in a prayer position; how to deal with a situation where the opponent has both his elbows inside your legs; how to use a really simple and fast counter to the start of an upa escape, where the opponent has just trapped one of your arms; and the situation where you think the opponent is going to use the upa escape to position yourself to take advantage of this movement to glide into a S mount position with the option of taking the S mount armbar. Volume 3 (35 minutes and 15 chapters) covers a range of efficient and effective submissions including chokes, wrist locks, Americana locks and armbars. The techniques are designed to enable you to maintain top position or if the top position is lost while performing the submission to successfully complete the submission. Picture and sound quality are good. A single camera has been used and the range is excellent, as you are close to the action and can easily see the details of the technique. The available previews are consistent with the whole instructional. Professor Sauer is clearly very knowledgeable. His instructions and demonstrations are clear. I found this instructional maintained a good pace and the Professor was able to maintain my attention. As is the norm with BJJ instructionals the techniques are repeated multiple times with different angles. In summary, as is often the case in BJJ the little details makes so much difference and this instructional is full of those details to make you much more confident in holding and submitting from the mount. In my experience the techniques in this instructional are not complicated to learn or recall. My ability to hold the mount has definitely improved after watching and practicing the techniques in this instructional. The total length of the instructional is 1 hour and 36 minutes long.
