The ultimate goal in jiu-jitsu is to achieve the mount, exhaust your opponent, and then win the fight. Punching your opponent from the mount can be effective but can be exhausting and risks your position. A better option is to use leverage-based submissions instead so that we can maintain better control of our opponent and save energy.

First you will learn the basic application and then a second sneaky variation that could be used.
