Hail Mary mount escape

[Mojoplata]

It's gotten to the point where I don't mind being mounted anymore. The reason being is that I hit the Hail Mary escape at least 99% of the time on everyone including my instructor. I rely on this all the time and it works. I just wonder if I should really worry about much else in the way of mount escapes? Has anyone experience being shut down on this escape? All feedback welcome

Everything has a counter, eventually someone's going to shut it down. Gotta have at least a second option to get out.

Corkscrew foot lock and a toe hold are easy counters to the hailmary mount escape.

It's always good to have other options, nothing will work 100% of the time. I've found it can be difficult to pull off on larger and stronger (skilled) opponents.

Yeah I'm pretty good at the Hail Mary escape but guys in my gym are learning to keep their weight as low as possible to stop it. Sometimes I'll still get my legs in front of their stomach but you've Gotta have an alternative. Personally I quite like Alcatrazz or reverse Alcatrazz

As Eddie said in the Mastering the Rubber Guard DVD, "nothing in Jiu-Jitsu works 100% of the time" (something like that). So, it's indeed recommendable to have 2-3 options to escape from each position. That been said, I also like using the hail mary mount escapes and generally, I would let my opponent go from side control to the mount, just so I can escape with hail mary. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody, but some times the opponent is so good in stalling on the side control that, if I am not being successful in escaping from the side control and I am running out of time, I will "invite" the opponent to mount, so I can escape right away. Again, I wouldn't recommend it to anybody, but I do it sometimes too

It's a decent surprise escape. My fav escape is probably the deep half escape. I also like scooping with the foot but deep half seems to have the higher percentage.

I don't suppose you could direct me towards the corkscrew foot lock, please?
