Mount Position
Mount Position is a common position used in various grappling sports, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. In this position, one person sits on top of their opponent, straddling their torso, which allows for control and the ability to apply various techniques. The person on top has a significant advantage, as they can use their weight to limit the movement of their opponent.
To maintain Mount Position, the top person must keep their balance and avoid being swept or reversed. Proper posture is essential, as it helps in defending against attacks while setting up submissions or strikes. This position is often a key focus in training for grapplers.
