Back mount or '''rear mount''' is a Dominant Ground Grappling Position where one combatant is behind the other in such a way that he or she is controlling the combatant in front. Typically, the combatant in the Inferior Position is lying face-down, while the other combatant is sitting or lying on top. This is a very dominant, if not the most dominant position, since the top combatant can attack with Strikes without the bottom combatant being able to see or defend. ATTACKING FROM THE BACK MOUNT To prevent the opponent form escaping the back mount, it needs to be stabilized. This usually done by hooking the legs on the inside of the opponent's legs, and grabbing hold around the opponent's neck or arms. Such a position is very difficult to escape from, the opponent can try to roll, but the leg-hooks prevent them from getting loose. The combatant that has back is in a very advantagous position. He can Strike with Punches , Elbows and Headbutts , or alternatively attempt a Rear Naked Choke or various Collar - Chokes . ESCAPING THE BACK MOUNT It is near impossible to attack from the back mount since the opponent is directly behind. If the opponent doesn't have the legs hooked, it is possible to roll into the Mount , although this does not improve the Positioning much. It is however is possible to see and block the opponent's Strikes from the Mounted Position . If the opponent has the legs hooked in, those hooks need to be removed, for instance by pulling them out using the arms. Once they have been removed, there is an increase in mobility, making it possible to wriggle into the mount, or try to turn and entangle a leg into a Half Guard . SEE ALSO REFERENCES
