A Note on the Mount and High Closed Guard Positions

The mount (where you are straddling your opponent with his back to the ground and your heels are hooked underneath his rib cage) and the high closed guard (where your back is to the ground and your opponent is pincered between your legs, which are hooked at the ankles) are well-known and formidable fighting positions. There should be little doubt of their proven efficacy in the ring. Yet there is one crucial streetfighting vulnerability if your opponent maintains proper position: your groin, throat, and eyes are susceptible to attack. Further clarified:

• If Fighter 1 (F1) achieves the mount, unless he rides high and traps his opponent’s arms, his groin is highly vulnerable to hand and elbow strikes by Fighter 2 (F2), who is underneath F1.

• When in the high closed guard, if F2 maintains correct posture and position (his opponent does not control his arms and upper body), he can attack F1’s groin using hand and elbow strikes even if F1 rides him hard with his closed guard. Knees to the groin and coccyx are also potential vulnerabilities.
