from bottom mount, i often prefer to recover half guard then bridge, or upa, because that lands me in my opponent's full guard. So I will just do little hip bumps without much control of my opponents' arms. They will be so pleased with themselves for not getting bucked all the way off, they will not prevent me from hooking their leg and recovering half guard. I'm a striped white belt, and land this on blues, purples, and even one brown. However, they just pass my half guard all over again lol.
From mount I usually bait them by poking and sweeping my huge red Mohawk in their face, as soon as they throw their arms up to defend its arm-bar city.
