Mount Survival Checkdown

Someone gets my Mount, I have to:

1. Elbows tight; Frame/brace with my arms, hands clasped together, against his hip. (This prevents: a. riding his knees high into High Mount; b. getting close enough for chokes.)

2. Bridge and get on my side; one leg flat, other one up. Get rid of hook on the flat leg side.

3. Shrimp out and try elbow escape.

*** Constantly, every five count, bridge to keep him off balance and don't give him time to get settled in to try any subs.

Usually, as I get almost out with the elbow escape, they will transition to S-Mount (if they don't, I can easily get Half Guard, and may even get full Guard.)

So for S-Mount Survival, I try two things:

1. S-Mount Escape from Saulo's JJ University book, page 62.

2. Eddie Kone's escape shown here, via PT Grappler blog.

I've pulled off the Saulo before, but haven't been able to get the Kone to work for me yet.
