GROUND WORK - MOUNT ESCAPE
Cover from the punches, he comes down to secure neck and head control whilst still being able to hit with the other hand. As he sits up again, follow and wrap the arms around hhis torso, keep the head in tight. As he brings you down to base out on his hands, secure and trap one of his arms - same side arm secures the triceps to stop it being pulled out, other arm secures the forearm across your chest. Then hip up and elevate him with a knee to disturb his base. Hip up to 12 o'clock then to 2 o'clock and sweep over into his guard. Secure his biceps and keep the head on his belly. Posture up, if he tries to punch then put the fingers in his lower abs, this prevents elevated punches and keeps them away.
