Saroth Reach 02-25-2003, 09:18 PM working in bottom gaurd is much better u can do more moves. gracie-seeker 02-25-2003, 11:21 PM the mount is much better, you cand do what ever you want, from hitting to submitting demitri 02-26-2003, 01:33 AM For me the mount is superior, I personally like traingle chokes, or arm bars, or going for heel hooks, or achilles holds. You can also have affective striking from the gaurd, maybe not have the same power, but affective striking can be administered from the guard. DOGGx0 02-26-2003, 03:01 AM i like the mount better. i am a smaller guy so when i am on top of my opponent, i tend to be less dominant than when i am on bottom. i can just move around more comming from down and under. if i am on top, i have to cover a larger area, going up and over. its easier to go up than down. maybe thats just me..... rtbrouwer 02-26-2003, 10:46 AM I certainly preffer working from the guard....... I feel so comforteble there! You do chokes, neckcracks, armlocks and even some leglocks! I deffinetelly like the guard more! Tom 02-26-2003, 12:52 PM I actually like the side mount the best. Kempo Chris 02-26-2003, 01:22 PM Mount- easy to punch ur opponent and sub him from there and he can only do very few things from there, except try to get u off Desperado 02-28-2003, 06:54 PM I like guard when I'm planning to deliver ill combos, but when performing submissions, the guard is more convenient. Aaronk 03-01-2003, 12:07 PM Mount. easy choice.

I work from cross side. gaurd is good I have a good armbar from my back. VulgarTheClown 03-07-2003, 02:43 PM I think the mount is superior but i enjoy the guard. KimuraMan 03-07-2003, 11:46 PM Depends on what your talkin about for MMA both are equally of good use to me. When you have mount your in control in terms of you can sub, you can strike and all you have to really worry about is the person getting out from under you. The guard on the other hand you can apply submissions and you can get caught in a sub. Your striking effectiveness goes down, while your opponents goes up if you cant control them with your legs well enough. In Judo terms I'd prefer the mount mostly because you can work a Pin and a sub giving more chances for ippon. |
