DESCRIPTION:
The mount is widely considered one of the most dominant positions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and one of the most dangerous positions to find yourself in during a real-world self-defense encounter. This 90-minute seminar is designed to teach students the fundamental principles and techniques required to safely and efficiently escape the mount position.
