Escaping the mount is no small task, the person on top not only has the most dominant pin, they also have a myriad of submission options available to them. The best escape is not simply one that allows the bottom player to progress to an improved position – a great escape keeps you shielded from submissions and requires the least amount of effort to perform. The foot drag is a near perfect escape. Executing the maneuver properly leaves practically no openings and the technique is not physically exhausting to perform.
