How to Defend vs Strikes From Mount

Defending yourself from an opponent mounted on your chest and trying to punch your teeth down your throat. Related videos include "Why the Mount is So Dangerous" • Why The Mount Is So Da... and "The 3 Best Targets for the KO" • The 3 Best Targets for...

This is where this channel has a real contribution to make. You're taking your area of expertise and applying it to self-defense scenarios. I've been looking for ages for a channel focused on grappling for the street. I say forget the stuff you don't really know about, like standup grappling techniques and knife defense, and focus in this direction.

Another thing with this way to cover up is also good is that if you move around while he's doing it, he can end up punching your elbows which is not fun. Although crossing your elbows make it harder because you can't see where he's punching, it seems like it's worth it to give up sight to protect your face in this position.

[@stefangurguriev1047]

Hey, can you use the helmet guard to close the distance against an agressive headhunter throwing wild punches?

[@63doughnut]

We also got a very quick sneaky peek [ about 3.25 minutes ] at the 'single leg bridge , bang him with the other knee, trap arm and foot and roll' mount escape. A little hidden gem.

[@shyland20]

one of your best videos

[@williamfitzpatrick1529]

Great video. The body did look exposed there. What’s the defence for that?

[@briancover3948]

Good stuff

[@TheCrushmaster]

The only issue I can see with this is there's nothing stopping them from achieving high mount. Definitely good to have as an option, though.

[@jav.angel1205]

No one technique ever works 100% First lesson you need to understand in all arts.

[@89334726]

Just wondering what would be the end result from binding BOTH arms and then doing what Frank said (Fly Me To The Moon for you barbarians)?

[@jamesjean6769]

1:42 very similar to Hard2hurt's Street cover, until you offset your elbows. Very nice

[@Eptimami]

How do I escape if he's got u on ur back

[@HelloThere.....]

3:19 I mean you're not actually gouging his eyes try actually doing it and then tell me you can just get out of it really easily. Not saying it's a perfect defense but it's definitely not as easy as just moving back or something. The fact that once you gouge the eyes he's trying to move away is exactly what you want you just put him in defensive mode then you can flip him over and/or escape.

[@maxsette80]

Agree!

[@ssfsf1832]

Yeah-great point. I am pretty sure that if you gouged the eye(s) of an attacker with intent, it would likely cause disruption of their attack, even if just for a few seconds. I doubt most people would have the presence of mind to do it back to you immediately.In the interim, it gives you time to do other things. Obviously you would only potentially blind someone if your life was in danger.

Thanks sir !

[@keithromersenior155]

Why not use the upa it end the whole thing in one simple move

[@JrKinabalu]

try dracula guard. it is a hybrid of long guard in muay thai. it protect the chin n some of the temple area.

[@SelfDefenseTutorials]

+Jr Kinabalu from DBMA?

[@JrKinabalu]

sorry what i meant by dracula guard is from standing position not guarding from the mount. Check out Sean Fagan video.

[@JrKinabalu]

i was actually referring from 4:24 when u did the silat triangle guard if i may called it.

[@michaelw7867]

Would you describe how to do the Dracula guard? Thanks.

[@Benny-wb5nj]

I watched around 100 Vodeos from you main channel (and 5-6 from this because i didn't knew it existed) And in the last 100 Videos together i didn't hear Richie speakt that much lol.

[@44Noosh]

"Women line up to do this" haha With the other defenses you showed at the end the offensive part is very obvious. With the helmet the offensive part would be the hips and legs, right?

[@IR088Y]

I literally can't do the helmet my shoulders are too broad

[@TheDOS]

Why make fists rather than open hand of some sort?

[@ParkourEh]

I presume your fingers could get punched and you'd lose dexterity to escape and/or finish the fight. Getting hit with the back of the hand sucks too, but at least you can use your fingers after.

[@SelfDefenseTutorials]

Good question: both to protect the fingers and to provide more protection to the temples (because fists are thicker than fingers)

[@nightrod2237]

No …. High mount incoming . Then no escape .

[@MrBlockHead]

Thats stupid just bridge if he values his face he’ll put both hands down on the ground. If his hands are busy keeping his face off the ground they won’t hit you.

[@IR088Y]

Omg I have a problem my shoulders are too damn broad I can't close up all the way

[@The31st]

My issue is, you didn't improve your position, they are still punching the shit out of you

[@HelloThere.....]

2:16 "Women line up to do this" *Starts imitating the way that women punch*

[@MP-db9sw]

Thank you 🙏 9/2024

[@darkwebnightstalker9298]

3:09 if you really wanted to get out a punch to the balls or punches to the balls would do the job. That's if its a dirty fight, a fight where you didn't want to fight. Mount to me has always been dirty fighting especially you attack someone that doesn't want to fight so a punch to the balls or yank of the balls could easily been done.

[@HECTORARTUROA]

The problem I see here is that the attacker can try an arm bar against the "Muay Thai" guard.

[@whusskey20]

Does every thug train in BJJ nowadays?

[@bingboybee]

When ever me and my friends wrestle I ALWAYS get the mount and win

[@theindestructible0983]

Nobody cares

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

That escape is very low procentage. Easy for the top guy to pull the arm out and post.

[@HelloThere.....]

2:16 "women line up to do this" *Starts imitating the women with the way he punches and purposely aims for his elbows instead of trying to hit his head after he hit him directly in the head the very first punch he threw*

[@hectorruiz2004]

First. :)

[@TheSigmaWolves]

Richie Yip is better not talking.
