????️ Systematically Attacking From Top Pins: Mount

A high-pressure control and finishing system from the mount position—built to dismantle defenses and chain submissions with structure and precision.

???? Course Overview

Gordon Ryan reveals how to dominate from mount by applying relentless pressure, positional traps, and calculated submission chains. Rather than holding the mount passively, you’ll learn how to systematically break down frames, force reactions, and flow into armbars, chokes, and back takes with surgical control.

???? What You’ll Learn

Mount Control Blueprint
Essential mount variations: low mount, high mount, S-mount, cross-face pin
Weight distribution & chest-to-hip pressure mechanics
Hip isolation & hand-fighting to shut down escapes
Submission Chains & Attacks
Armbars from S-mount & high mount
Americana & kimura via cross-face & arm traps
Mounted triangles & sneaky chokes under pressure
Transition attacks: mount → back exposure
Positional Transitions
Seamless switching between mount types
Reacting to bridges & elbow-knee escapes
Transitioning to knee-on-belly or back takes
Live Application & Drills
Partner drills for mount under resistance
Positional sparring on reaction & submission timing
Coaching cues for pressure application & setups

???? Who This Course Is For

Perfect for grapplers who:
• Want to turn mount into a finishing stronghold
• Prefer pressure-based top control with structure
• Train gi & no-gi and seek unified top-pin strategies
• Need drillable, reaction-ready transitions from control to submission

✅ Key Benefits

✔ System-Based Transitions
Move between pins with confidence—no reset needed.
✔ Resistance-Proven Techniques
Built to function against fully resisting opponents.
✔ Structured for Real Rolling
Designed for partner drilling, sparring, and high-level progression.
