Use these escapes the next time you're stuck in Mount! 💪🥋

Overview

This video teaches two fundamental mount escapes based on reading weight distribution. The instructor demonstrates how to use frames and hip movement to either recover half guard when the opponent's weight is light on one leg, or transition to butterfly guard when weight shifts to the opposite side. Both escapes rely on proper framing structure and using the floor to generate movement.
