Step 1
Grab both of your opponent's ankles with both of your hands. Do this as soon as your opponent stands up.
-
Step 2
Release your guard by unhooking your ankles. This will drop your body back down to the floor and prevent your opponent from picking you up and slamming you back down on the ground.
-
Step 3
Press your knees together. This will provide a barrier between you and your opponent. Use it to block his chest from coming down on top of you. It also provides ample space to prevent your opponent from hitting you in the head.
-
Step 4
Pull on both your opponent's ankles and push up with both knees. Your opponent will fall on to his back. It is essential that you push upward so you lift your opponent's center of gravity. If he is leaning forward and you try to push him backward, he may just fall on top of you.
-
Step 5
Use the momentum of the push and pull to bounce your body up. Do this quickly. You must beat your opponent up. Reach across his body and grab his opposite elbow as you place your other hand on the ground next to you for support.
-
Step 6
Pull on your opponent's elbow as you push with your other hand. This will help you get up. The position of your legs already puts you in a full mount on your opponent. This is the most advantageous position in mixed martial arts. Sink your hips down so that they press against your opponent's hips. He will have a very hard time getting up when you do. Your opponent is now at your mercy.
