I've been loving a modified version of the goat mount that demian maia showed in a seminar. I'll see if this makes sense in words.
From butterfly on top, use your hips/knee to stuff one leg to the other side (we will say use your right hips/knee to move his left leg to his right side), so that it is across his body and not strong. Also take the underhook with your right arm deep. Then you drive your right knee, taking his left leg with it, until your knee goes over and past his right leg, kinda twisting the guy on bottom in opposite directions with your knee and underhook. Make sure that your whole right shin is past his right leg (in other words, not just the knee, move the ankle over too). Take a grip on his right arm behind the elbow or triceps with your left handto flatten him. For traditional goat mount, you go heavy on your right side and post the left leg out, but Demian showed to put your left foot over your right knee (like if you are sitting with your leg crossed over the other one, not a triangle), and drop your left knee under his armpit to the mat, using the left hand grip to make space for the knee.
If you go heavy, it's a damn nightmare for the guy on bottom. His back and/or hips get heavy pressure, and if he bucks or moves at all, he will basically buck you right into a tight, high mount. You don't even have to pass for a minute. Just let him tire himself out, and either move you into mount with his own energy, or when you feel like he is exhausted, just step into the obvious mount. You even end up with a very high mount with knees under his armpits because of the grips going in.
Hope that all made sense. Anyone else have luck with this?
