High mount

High Mount position represents an altered approach of applying top positions as they force an attacking body more up towards the opponent's head, which enhances control on top when used during combat in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu settings, or even other martial arts-based combat forms from top dominant settings. Here, you're fully applying body and weight from over your pinned partner while using various arm locks and neck chokes with far more precise body awareness. This move is started by setting yourself above your partner's core and base body at a higher level, often with more limbs connected over/past that specific upper section using legs on shoulders and also utilizing chest positions for greater effect in stopping or delaying the other user's attempts at defense or transition from a low side control position while maintaining access to your grips in place. In this upper controlling-based high mount, your lower half area controls will stop all usual escapes while giving better submissions as you keep arms separated, thus improving position when needed, or you take action against them while having them flat or in low postures. To fully control from higher bases is usually desired by seasoned and highly skilled submission users when on top position to give the best range of all options.
