How to Defend Yourself: S Mount Papercutter

S-MOUNT PAPER CUTTER

In our next attack we are going to use this from what we call an S-Mount. We are going to make an S with our legs. We are going to setup the first one. I've heard it called Paper Cutter, it's a gut ranch, a jack-knife/can-opener, a couple of different names for it, but we are riding our hips up high that we talked about, we've got a good high base.

I am going to switch one leg and now my legs are in the shape of an S, it's called an S-Mount. I do this a lot of times when I am setting up an armbar or if I am setting up this attack, this is a good way to keep a good base, be careful if you've got a guy that's really strong or has really long arms, he'll try to put this hand in your armpit and push you off this way, that's fine, if he does we are going to attack the armbar that we are going to show in just a few seconds.

But from here what I want to do is I want to take this side of this arm and this side of this arm, I want to put them on a side of his neck and clasp my hands together behind his head, like that, I just want to grab, okay.

And now, see how my arms are kind of making a scissor motion, I am going to cut my scissors and I want to take the top elbow and try to drive it to the ground. So when I am here I want to take this top elbow and it's going to be making a motion like this, alright. We are here, I take this, I drive it straight down. We can attack from here. You can set this up in a couple of different positions that we are going to talk about. It's a very, very powerful attack.

Again, we are here, we've been riding up higher and higher, we've got a good high mount. We are going to switch our base, we just push ourselves up, switch our base, open into an S-Mount. If you need help, if it helps you, grab your foot, drag it up close to his head, however, you need to keep a steady base. I stay low, his legs are really a threat to me right now. This arm is really the only threat of him pushing me backwards as far I could be there long. We're going to take these hands, push them straight behind his head and then pinch and move down with our top elbow. So we are here, I go straight down, right there.

From the other side, I have got a good high mount, I switch into an S-Mount, I switch here. I grab my hands behind his head, this time it's this elbow goes straight to the ground. From here go straight over, okay.

This one -- it's a lot of pain compliance and it sets up some other attacks that we are going to talk about, but you will catch a lot of guys in this attack and there is so much pain involved and a lot of times you do really quick tap.

One more time from this side, we are here. I walk my hips up really high, I've got a good high mount here. I play for control or whatever, however I am going to do the S-Mount, I can do that all in one motion or I can do that in some steps. I like to do it all in one motion.

I go here and I just slide the legs up, I am pinching, this foot is pinching to this knee, I am pinching together, I grab behind the head, I am going to pinch down, it gives me a lot of leverage. It's really painful neck wreck from here. I am pinching in and twisting his head, okay. Make sure your paper cutter, your gut ranch, your jack-knife, your can-opener whatever you want to call it from the S-Mount.
