//01—About this position
What it is
Grapevine Mount is a low mount in which the top player extends both legs and laces the insteps outside the opponent's thighs, threading the legs together. The splayed leg structure trades posting ability and arm isolation for a wide, low hip pin that flattens the bottom player and removes the bridge. Weight settles forward through the chest while the laced feet stretch the opponent's legs and block knee recovery.
