BJJ / Grappling Tips: Mount Escape to Heel Hook

I saw this as an extra on one of Roy Harris' BJJ VHS (oh yeah, back in the day!) instructionals.

It opens doors and presents you with options from an otherwise rubbish place to be (at the bottom of the mount)

 

 Obviously, I'm not suggesting that you seek out mount bottom. As far as the positional heirarchy of BJJ, Mount Bottom really sucks. However, when life hands you lemons...
