Which escape is used from a rear mount when the control is on the inside arm?

• A. Escape from Rear Mount (Carotid Restraint)
• B. Escape from Rear Mount (Inside Arm)
• C. Shrimping
• D. Knife Defense (Forward Diagonal Attack)

Answer: (B)

Escaping from a rear mount hinges on freeing the arm that the attacker has on the inside of your body. When the control is on the inside arm, the best path is to prioritize peeling that inside arm free and using that freed space to turn your body toward your side, which lets you escape the mount and move into a safer position. This approach directly addresses the specific grip you’re dealing with, making it the most effective option for this scenario. The other options fit different situations—carotid restraint escape targets a choke threat rather than arm control, shrimping is a broader hip-escape technique not tailored to the inside-arm control from a rear mount, and knife-defense scenarios involve different threats and setups.
