Knee on belly
Technique Description
Knee on belly is a dominant mount variation that provides dynamic and effective control by directly limiting the opponent's movement and access to their limbs. To achieve this position, pin the opponent's lower and upper body, then place one knee on their midriff or upper torso area. This restricts access to specific areas, reducing escape options. While maintaining balance, use this position to set up submission opportunities or transition to other attacking positions, increasing your chances of a fast victory. Proper pressure and bodyweight distribution are essential for maintaining control and enabling transitions. Knee on belly is a fundamental component of high-quality attacks due to its effectiveness in controlling and dominating the opponent. It is worth noting that while this technique can be utilised without the gi it is far more effective with the gi, in particular using lapel grips.
