No-Gi Mount Domination by Henry Akins

The mount is the most dominant position in jiu-jitsu, and few people understand how to keep it and finish from it better than Henry Akins.

  • Henry Akins is a Rickson Gracie black belt, one of the few Americans to earn his black belt directly from Rickson, and the coach behind the Hidden Jiu-Jitsu concepts that have changed how thousands of grapplers think about pressure and connection.
  • In No-Gi Mount Domination, Akins breaks down how to control the mount with your legs so your arms are free to attack, how to shut down every major escape, and how to finish with chokes and armlocks once your opponent has nowhere to go.
  • This isn't just a mount attacks course, it's a complete system for holding the top position without a gi to grab and turning control into submissions.

What Will You Learn?

The mount is the most dominant position in jiu-jitsu, and few people understand how to keep it and finish from it better than Henry Akins.

Akins started training at Rickson Gracie's academy in Los Angeles in the mid 1990s and was promoted to black belt by Rickson in 2004. He is known for teaching the invisible details, the weight distribution and connection that make simple techniques work against people who know they are coming. Now he's sharing how he applies those details to the mount in no-gi.

In No-Gi Mount Domination, Akins starts with the core concept: control with the legs so the arms can attack, and treat the mount as a fluid position instead of a static pin. You'll learn the high mount, the low mount and the side mount, then how to read and shut down the bridge, the trap and roll, the elbow escape, the hip escape, quarter guard and the kipping escape. This isn't just a mount attacks course, it's a complete system for holding the top position without a gi to grab and turning control into submissions.

Whether you're a beginner who keeps getting bucked off or an experienced grappler who holds the mount but struggles to finish, the mount serves as the place where you should be doing your best work. Akins shows how to move between mount and side mount, how to get back to mount from the heist, and how to flatten your opponent out or turn them belly down when they try to escape.

The finishing system works because it is built on the reactions your control creates. The paper cutter choke brings the arms up, which opens the gift wrap and the armlock, and the hammer fist choke and head and arm choke are combined so every defense feeds the next attack. Instead of hunting for one submission, you'll have a chain that keeps your opponent defending while you stay heavy on top.

If you've ever wondered why elite grapplers seem impossible to remove once they reach the mount, and why their submissions come so easily from there, this is the detail you've been missing.

Learn how to control, frustrate and submit your opponents from the mount with Henry Akins.
