closed guard is mount from the bottom 4

Closed Guard (Bottom Mount) ------------------------------------------ 2025.07.21 Shoulder walking + back heeling hips on top of opponent amplifies knee pull kuzushi Asymmetrical knee pull is critical Pinch headlock entry: long arm, short arm, long elbow high Look off to floor to shuck pinched arm Lat grip, elbow heist—top leg active, bottom leg weightless Shin or femur over opponent's head, elbow-to-elbow connection on top arm Bottom arm posts near opponent's knee for perpendicular attacking angle Capture ankle as a pry bar to internally rotate femur and lock both legs Skull grip for juji separation—correct angle is back of skull (not side of face), then American or Japanese rotation (kimura) to finish at elbow-to-wrist Throw top leg between uke's far arm + powerful turtle breakdown → tech mount or rear triangle worked my way to close guard and made the whole combo work front headlock sitouts and dragouts remain and challenge, wrestling from bottom ⚔️🥷🏼🌊
