What Will You Learn?
The mount is the most dominant position in jiu jitsu, and few people have finished from it at the highest level quite like Rafael Lovato Jr.
Rafael Lovato Jr. earned his black belt from Saulo and Xande Ribeiro and won the IBJJF World Championship at black belt in 2007, the same year he won the European, Pan American and Brazilian Nationals titles. He went on to become the undefeated Bellator Middleweight World Champion, and today he teaches at his Oklahoma City academy. Now he's sharing the gi mount game he has refined over his career.
In Gi Mount Masterclass, Lovato starts with the basics and the concepts that keep you on top, then walks through the Ezekiel choke, the arm triangle, the arm triangle Ezekiel combination, the armbar and the X-choke, with detailed setup and finishing mechanics for each. This isn't just a mount attacks course, it's a masterclass on how to hold the mount and finish from it in the gi.
Whether you're a white belt trying to stay mounted or a black belt looking to tighten your finishes, the mount serves as the place where your top game should end. The gi gives you grips on the collar and sleeves, and Lovato shows you how to use them to build chokes and arm attacks that are hard to escape.
These attacks work because they're built on control first. When your mount is stable and your setups are precise, the finish becomes a matter of mechanics, not strength, and the finishing touches at the end of the course help you close the small gaps that let opponents escape.
If you've ever wondered why some black belts finish from the mount almost every time they get there, this is how they do it.
Learn how to control and finish from the mount with Rafael Lovato Jr.
