What Will You Learn?

New Wave Jiu Jitsu: Mounted Pin Attacks – The 4×4 Mount System
A comprehensive, position-focused blueprint for dominating the mount—built on four mount pin types and four attack chains that flow under pressure.

 Course Overview

John Danaher presents “mount” not just as a controlling position but as a dynamic launchpad for relentless offense. His 4×4 Mount System breaks the position into four distinct pin structures and corresponding attack pathways—enabling you to stay dominant, adaptable, and decisive from the top. Each pin integrates seamlessly with specific submissions, transitions, and control refinements.

 What You’ll Learn

• 1. Mount Pin Fundamentals
  Four mounting frameworks: classic S-mount, high mount, cross-facing, and knee-mount—each with unique control nuances.
  Pressure flow adjustments based on opponent reactions and escape attempts.
  Entry details from guard-pass and mount-escape recovery scenarios.
• 2. Attack Chains & Submission Pathways
  S-Mount attacks: armbar, shoulder crank, and reverse-armbar transitions.
  High-Mount control: mounted triangle, mounted gogoplata, and catch-and-stack variations.
  Cross-Face entry options: Americana, kimura, and cross-face-based chokes.
  Knee-Mount setups: crucifix entry, kneebar sequences, and transition into back take.
• 3. Position-to-Position Flow
  Technical transitions between mount variations to maintain control and avoid escape.
  Flow drilling from one mount pin to another depending on opponent reaction.
  “Live pins” approach: small flow-based sparring zones focused on mount retention and submission chaining.
• 4. Escape Triggers & Counter Positioning
  How to preemptively stop opponent escapes like bridging, hip escape, or turtle rolls.
  Use of chest pressure, knee wedges, and underhook effectiveness to maintain mount.
  Restoration of position using post, shrimp, and re-mount tactics.
