This diagram shows a sample game plan to use from the Mount Top position.  The movements, and submissions are all basic but require details on each and every aspect to complete them properly.

The Mount Position is the gold standard in Jiu-Jitsu.  From here, we can completely dominate an opponent.  This game plan goal is to start in the Mount,  and from there, decide whether you are low (with Grapevines) or high mount.  Most techniques require you to move into a Side Mount or Tight S Mount.  The angles and pressure afforded from these positions allow us to constantly attack with the high percentage submissions outlined in the Flow Chart.
