Quarter Mount Defense to Armbar from Top or Omoplata (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates a dominant mount transition and finish, specifically addressing how to clear the quarter mount. Lucas secures a tight grip on the opponent’s lower back to flatten their hips, then uses heavy pressure to slide his knee across while keeping his toes pointed up to prevent a full guard recovery. To stop a bridge, he maintains a wide, stable base by keeping his outside foot away from the opponent’s shoulder. Once he clears the quarter mount and establishes the position, he "walks" his weight toward the head to isolate an arm, finishing with an armbar from the top or transitioning into an omoplata if the opponent attempts to turn or hide the arm.
