End of the mount....for this month :)

Yes its true. The end of "month of the mount" has finally come. What a fantastic month it was and it brought some great lessons. You think you know the mount until you take a whole month to dissect how you get there and what you "think" you know to do when you're actually in the position.

1. There is a finite number of options the person on the bottom has to reverse you. Learn them, know them, love them. Once you become comfortable with them you can learn to anticipate it and set your counters.

2. Learn to feel the weight from the bottom. Not just the pressure from their hands, but from their hips as well.

3. Set your "three's" to flow one from the other. Anticipate their counters and roll them into your plan.

4. Transition when YOU want to do it. Make your plan YOUR plan, not theirs.

5. Pressure, pressure, PRESSURE!

It was an awesome month. Coach and my friends on the mat gave me hell everyday I stepped on it and it was what made me a better person. I asked them to give me no slack as soon as the matched started and thats exactly what I got. It was amazing. Now...on to new horizons!
