Hey 10th planet studs, is anybody using the mono mount at all? Eddie showed a brief overview of it at the seminar. The main thing I'm wndering is the setup from the Carni the main set up or is there other set up options. Super effective position and id like to be solid with it.
I go for the monoplata a lot from mount. I usually just zombie and clear the neck kung fu move then transition to the monoplata from there.
It probably was covered, but when you omaplata from the basic path and they roll, you can hold the elbow in the baby arm position and transition to the mono mount...Marcelo's omaplata dvd comes to mind....?
Good point..ill have to put that in the player..I forgot he goes over the monoplata

first ill get a tight overhook on one arm and straighten my other arm out on their same side bicep and put my weight on it so i can move my legs around. then i shoot my overhook side leg out wide so that its straight and my toes are pointing out. if it isnt wide you wont have base while they buck to the sides. once you get there, your basically trying to lift up their overhook side shoulder while pinning their other shoulder to the mat.
once you have them under control, you can try to throw the overhook side leg over their face as if your doing a flying kung fu from the top or you can go to what i can describe as top new york by shooting your leg up to their neck and grabbing your shin and then doing a kung fu move. its important to remember to keep squeezing your knees together in rg even if your on the top, or else theyll buck their shoulders out.
once you get to kung fu from the top, you can transition to mono control by grabbing their free wrist and pushing it away, taking out your free leg so that you can cross your ankles together and then reinserting the free leg back in their underarm.
when i finish the monoplata, i prefer to actually attack the arm with a guillotine grip but with your elbow still basing out, like an overhook armbar almost. i guess you could call it a monotine lol
