Finishing Mechanics: Leg Weave To Mount

Transitioning from the folding pass to mount through the leg weave involves several key steps to secure the position and potentially isolate the opponent's arm.

1. Start by entering the leg weave from the folding pass, especially when the opponent keeps their knees apart.
2. Secure a cross face and underhook, then open up space to bring your inside knee close to their hip.
3. Bring your hip down to the mat, making your right hip heavy.
4. Take a big step forward with your left leg, placing it close to the opponent's far hip.
5. Clamp your knee tight to their hip and roll your weight into the mat, transitioning your weight from the left hip to the right hip.
6. Although you can release the leg and take side control, you have the option to climb to mount.
7. When climbing to mount, project your weight through your chest, forcing their shoulder to the mat.
8. Flare their elbow away from their body to begin isolating their arm.
9. Pinch your knees together, go onto your toes, and sag your hip towards the mat to transfer all weight into your chest.
10. Finally, step to their far side hip with your arm and roll your chest forward to secure the mount and begin isolating the opponent's arm.
