Counter to the Mount
Marines use this technique when they are lying on their back on the ground, the opponent is mounted on top of the Marine, and the opponent's legs are wrapped around the Marine. The opponent has the tactical advantage. To execute the counter to the mount position, Marines—
Push the opponent over and roll him off to the right side.
3. Ground Fighting Chokes
Maintain control of the opponent's hooked arm and move to a kneeling position.
Move to a standing position while maintaining pressure on the opponent's arm and using the knee to apply pressure against the opponent's elbow.
During training, never execute a choke at full force or full speed. Never hold a choke for more than 5 seconds.
The priority in ground fighting is for Marines to get back on their feet as quickly as possible. Sometimes, Marines can quickly end a ground fight by executing a choke on the opponent. When performed correctly, a choke can render an opponent unconscious in as little as 8 to 13 seconds. Chokes are easily performed regardless of size or gender. The chokes performed during ground fighting are the same as those performed while standing (see chap. 6).
