Escaping the mount is one of the most important skills and one of the most difficult things to in Grappling.

You should first learn how to be comfortable and safe when someone is mounted on you before you focus on escaping.

But, once you have some level of competence in bad positions, a good time to escape is when your opponent is transitioning to from one position to another.

In this scenario, we work on using the Upa as he mounts and not after he has settled into the position.

Because he has us in a tight hold, he tends to become over-confident and not realize he has limited his base, making it possible to trap and roll him when he is focused on going to mount.
This is one of my favorite ways to escape.
