Outlier Mat Minute: Mount Attacks (Nicholas Meregali)
Nicholas Meregali is back on the mat and he’s giving us new ideas from mount. Let’s look at how he attacks from a single chest wrap.
#singlechestwrap - The general advice is to bring the defender’s hand in front of your head so you can start to transition into attacks like an arm triangle.
#nicholasmeregali + #udegaeshi - Nicholas deliberately brings the hand to the outside of his head. This way when he goes for a triangle he can immediately threaten the ude gaeshi version of the arm bar.
#nicholasmeregali + #doublechestwrap - If the defender keeps their second arm tight to prevent the triangle, we can take a second underhook and work into a double chest wrap.
As promised, jiu-jitsu insights in under 1 minute!
