8 min
5 x 6 reps per side
Intermediate
Demonstration video coming soon

Instructions

  1. 1From closed guard, sit up and post your near hand as you bump your hips into theirs.
  2. 2Drive off your posting leg to lift their base leg off the mat.
  3. 3Come up on the same-side knee and climb directly to mount, not side control.
  4. 4Secure a grapevine or high mount grip before they can recover.

What to focus on

Hip bump timed with the post so their base leg actually lifts.

Common mistake

Bumping straight up instead of driving through their hips at an angle.
