Fantastic series! Active duty military stationed overseas and able to train regularly here. Especially like that it is not just a menu of techniques but the breakdown and the ‘why’ behind doing what you do. helps provide understanding and the basis by which I can make my own decisions as to what to focus on/prioritize during training and competitions. Please keep at it, GREAT stuff and much appreciated.

Good stuff Tim. I like to also control the head by trapping it with my elbow. I prefer to use an elbow over the head control as opposed to hugging under the neck. This makes it harder for the person on bottom to move. Harder to master but once you get it, you’ll experience alot more control. I know this was about hip control, but I think the head control is an important piece to the top cross mount position. If uou control their head, you control their body.

I’m 215 and I rarely feel heavy, it will be fun to try out the concepts in these videos. Thank you very much for your time in producing them and the essay!

I agree with Darin, I’m 140lb and all my training partners tell me I feel like a cloud when I’m on top. This has discouraged me to have a top game at all, so my top game is pretty much nonexistent. Recently though I’ve been committed to getting on top and staying on top, and I’m gonna try the techniques you’ve shown in your videos and essay. Hopefully it’ll help me out! lol, thanks again,

Arun
