Outlier Mat Minute: Escape the Single Chest Wrap from Mount

Getting stuck in a single chest wrap from mount can leave us questioning our life choices. Here are some ways we can escape:

• Bridge toward the trapped arm - If our arm is extended, we can bridge to the side of our trapped arm to escape.

  • Gordon Ryan teaching this

  • Ryan Aitken doing this

• Bridge away from the trapped arm - If our arm is bent and in front of the attacker’s face, we can bridge away from the trapped arm to create space for our hand to go into their armpit, recovering from the single chest wrap.

  • Jeremy Skinner Example

• #handinthearmpit + #mountescape- We can use the hand in the armpit strategy to preemptively avoid the single chest wrap. As the attacker adjusts their position to address our hand in their armpit, it can lead to opportunities for us to escape.

  • Spenser Ortiz Example
