Mount Escape -
When in guard, sweep to mount. Drill is to escape the mount. Elbow and knee escape, so turn to side hook his leg with your top leg push off knee and escape bottom let to half guard. Get you arm in for the underhook on the side with the leg out then work to regain guard.

Tech:
1. Regain guard/distance from attempted side control -
As your scramble and he passes to side control, he goes to get the over and under grip for good control. You can either attack the top hand closest to your head and stop that by turning in a blocking it or the better option is using your inside arm grab his wrist or cuff and turn away from him. Post up on your head and feet in a tripod. As you do quickly rotate your top leg in a circle and return to guard. If you can spin away and increase the distance, do so but NEVER just sit and wait for him to attack again.

1. Regain guard/distance from attempted side control then attack -
As per the tech above but as you spin and end up in front of him, go on the attack. If he has a leg up attack the heel and drive to come up on top. If you have some distance, close this and try for a sweep or butterfly sweep. If you end in closed guard go for submission or sweep. Never just get the position and then wait as he will come up on top of you.

Fitness is still king here, starting to get my head back into it. Protecting from the sub in the roll and waiting out a chance to come up on top. Once the fitness is back and a few more session I should have dusted off some of the cobwebs!
