Which technique involves escaping from the mount by grabbing a pant leg or using a push kick?

• A. Gift Wrap/Straight Jacket
• B. Team Mount Escape, Grabbing Pant Leg or Push Kick
• C. Escape from side control
• D. Rear Mount Carotid Control Hold

Answer: (B)

Escaping from the mount hinges on breaking the top rider’s balance and creating space to move your hips out and regain a safer position. Grabbing a pant leg or delivering a push kick directly targets the top’s base, disrupting their balance and making it easier to slide your hips free. By pulling on the leg, you can off-balance the mount and pivot to turn into a guard or recover to a more defensible position. A quick push kick works similarly by creating space and knocking the top off their stable posture, again opening the path to escape. This approach is a practical, direct way to disengage from a mounted position without complex setups. The other options describe different holds or positions (a control wrap, a side-control escape, or a rear-mount carotid control) rather than the specific escape technique described.
