I lose mount when they bridge
Phase · PinningTop player: what to watch
Draft guide, not a remote diagnosis. The causes below are possibilities to check with your coach.
Use the linked game to repeat this situation with a clear goal. Start with a comfortable frame or grip and low resistance. Change one rule, then observe whether the same problem recurs.
Plan a focused session →Common situation
You climb to mount and they buck you off in 10 seconds.
Likely cause
Your weight is on their chest, not on their hips. You ride the bridge instead of killing it.
Coaching cue
Hips low, knees high. Climb to high mount or grapevine before they breathe.
Watch for during rolling
Where your weight sits — chest or hips.
