excellent video for keeping and attacking from mount. Concepts with multiple examples are great.
Phenomenal instructional on maintaining the mount. Some unorthodox submissions as well as insights on weight distribution.
Learned a lot of attacks from mount. I’ve had some success recently with these mount retention techniques.
Well explained.
good techniques and details.
amazing
It´s a solid course, but many things are doubled in, which is confusing and pushes the actual learning input in half.
Bmac is the man. This was the first instructional I ever bought and I’m always using these techniques.
Lots of good techniques and details.
It helped me a lot with the pressure on the mount position
McCaghren is a wizard, and he goes incredibly deep on the mount here in this instructional. It's a work of art thru and thru.
some of the most in depth and clear instruction you can find on bjj fanatics
I've trained all over for 15-16 years. I've been coached by many. I attended a seminar put on by Brandon and it was worth every penny. His details are super solid and instruction is second to none.
Rearranged my top game for the better
Excellent & very thorough exploration of taking, maintaining & exploiting mount. Didn't even make it to the 3rd chapter before I started noticing a difference in how I play mount. Even had my coach nodding in approval at some of my technique. So far this will be my go-to for nogi mount play when I need/want a refresher. I'll keep my eyes open for more instructionals from B-Mac.
Brandon is an excellent instructor. He explains all the details very thoroughly.
Great instructional with good details about mount
So I **** at finishing from mount position, often being left without an idea what to go for or how to finish, I watched B-Mac content, slowly step by step, Figured out I'll start with simple things, my go to since like 2 months is Chopping Block, but instead of cooking them I just submit everyone using it, energy effective, simple yet deadly in execution, get to the Chopping Block ,grab their head, lay down on the face using belly. Works like a charm. Thank you for excellent content sir! huge fan here.
BMac is a master at breaking down techniques where you can become technically proficient no matter your skill level or flexibility level.
One of the best materials about top game in whole bjjfanatics. Changed
This video is very detailed and helpful. It's a bit long, partly because it repeats some scenes in other chapters. I'm not sure if that was intentional or a mistake, but it does add to the overall length.
My favorite mount instructional
Brandon’s so down to earth and his videos are very helpful.
brutal mount dominance it does what it says especially good arm triangle set ups and several brutal ways to finish
Great breakdown of the techniques. I really appreciated the introduction of the basic movements and the solo drills. It helped to learn the movements and application.
bmack is my all time favorite instructor. Always gives the instruction in a way that even someone with no experience can follow and understand.
excellent video....given me more options from mount
I find myself getting to mount the most but I don't capitalize the way I should. I understand Brandon's explanation of things very well and I'm looking forward to taking some risks from mount.
Great value for money, good drills and easily applicable
great series for mount game. Learn from the man the myth the legend Bmac!
Feels like a collection of his YouTube videos, but it's organized and specific. Bmac is an amazing teacher
great video very good details
Brandon is by far my favourite instructor on this site! I love his style of teaching and attention to detail. Big thanks to Brandon! I'll buy anything this man makes!
I love Bmacs teaching style, and lots of great details in this one!

Well thought out and complete system. Use it every time I get mount
Always enjoy deep diving a position like mount and learning from a master like Brandon McCaghren.
If you want a scary mount, this is the instructional for you!!
I have a bunch of videos now. This is my favorite. Brandon is a great instructor and is fun. His students are very lucky. I can't wait to try some of these moves. Also I am new to bjj. He explains basic tips to pulling these moves off. He also explains how to keep mount! Grwt job bran love the instructional hope he puts out some more on bjj fanatics.
awesome and engaging.
awesome
Extremely well done. He has a relaxed and easily understood teaching style. I highly recommend this instructional. I look forward to future material
an unusual game for a widely known position. a good addition to my collection.
An innovative gameplan from the mount
Great overview for setting up submissions and backtakes from the mount. Brandon does an excellect job in covering the many details for all aspects of mount situations.
very detailed and flowed well. will be buying more Bmac instructionals in the future.
Brandon has the most approachable instructional on how to make anyone regret ending up under your mount. Would highly recommend.
This has so many fun options for mount. I would say this is definitely in the top 3 best mount instructionals. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to improve their mount.
