gKnee Mount, also known as 'Knee on Belly', is a miserable position for your

opponent because your whole

weight is resting on him via your knee, which is painful and makes breathing
difficult. Furthermore it offers
the top person the strongest striking position in groundfighting. This position is
therefore is an excellent way
to attack a very defensive opponent, because dealing with your knee often forces
him to give you an opening
for an attack, such as the spinning armbar (see www.grapplearts.com/grapplingdrill-download-3.htm for
video of this submission). Knee Mount can also be used to temporarily secure a
scrambling opponent,
pinning him in place long enough for you to move to another position.
Depending on the circumstances you can place either your knee or shin on your
opponent's belly, abdomen
or solar plexus. Your other foot must float and be free to adjust to the movements of
the pinned person. Most
of your bodyweight must be borne by your opponent, and not by your feet. From
the bottom your goals are to
escape the position without exposing your arms to a jointlock or your neck to a
choke.
