# Escapes - Bridge from Mount

All right guys, let's start with scapes now, basic scape, how to bridge from mount

position, okay? Let's imagine Seb mounted on me, okay?

So basically, if he does not hold my collar, okay,

imagine his hands are on the floor, I can always go with a short arm here and I

can catch his arm, okay, making sure his arm going to be very much stuck above my

chest. Now I'm going to use my foot,

trapping his foot, which is on the same side, same side of the arm.

Okay? To have a more powerful bridge, move your head slightly to the side.

So I have more room to bridge over my shoulder or

use the cross hand trapping his arm and the other hand I cup behind his triceps so

he doesn't remove this hand from here anymore and then it's the same concept I trap
