Monoplata Mount: GIF Heavy Breakdown & Analysis

I wrote this breakdown on the Monoplata mount over at Sherdog.
http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/sho...1#post96234221

I noticed a bunch of sources I used for it were 10th planet guys, who all seemed really knowledgeable about the position (If you are one of them, I will be fixing up references over the next few days!). In fact my friend Issac is a 10th Planet Ronin and was the one that originally showed me the position (and was in one of the GIF's!)
Its not quite 100% finished, but its pretty close & should hopefully be sorted over the next couple of days
Hope you guys like it. Any other sources, videos, tips, criticisms etc would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Oh my emotions. I can't see any of the gif's at work, but I can't wait to see check this tonight.

Very cool. You spent an insane amount of time and effort putting that together, I'm sure. I'm glad some of the videos I posted could help!

Very good. I really liked his Wilson Guard breakdown too.

The 3/4 Stockade and Climbing mount are pretty interchangeable.

Also you can download a rar of the GIF's now and all the Sources are up at the bottom, I just have to reference them with the GIF's & I think im done :D

Also I just remembered what someone posted on the ug forums (can you edit your posts here btw?)
he had some good points, I especially like his reasons for not turning the opponent too much...

Lots of details in there... I'll have to take some time later to give it the attention it deserves, but I love this position and get frustated that it's not used much in mma when the bottom guy hugs.

Here are some details I keep in mind:

- I like to keep his wrist trapped under my arm and I sink down...cupping his elbow and my thigh all help to keep his arm bent at 90 degrees with his elbow up near his shoulder.

- I also like to get him a little to his side, but not all the way....If his back and ass are still pointed a little towards the mat, it's a lot more difficult for him to shrimp out of the arm pressure.

- maintain this cupped elbow arm trap position when going back for an arm bar rather than transitioning to a regular arm bar....the slightest roation of your hips combined with stretched his arm is killer.

- I like to use a similar sort of arm bar when I'm doing a regular oma plata and can't get my bottom leg out. My body is perpendicular to his and I sort of do a log roll away from his feet.



...anyways....I'll give yours a read and see what you got for ideas.
