You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.239.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:38, 2 November 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Back mount''', or '''rear mount''' (often confused with back control), is a dominant [[Grappling position#Ground positions|grappling position]] where the practitioner is on their opponent's back in such a way that they have control of their opponent (in back control, the practitioner controls their opponent from the back in any position that is not atop). Ideally, the opponent will be recumbent (prone), while the practitioner centers their weight atop the opponent, either in a seated or recumbent posture. Many consider back mount to be a very dominant, perhaps even the most advantageous position in grappling. This is due to the practitioner being able to attack with [[strike (attack)|strikes]] and [[Submission (combat sports)|submissions]] with the opponent having a severely limited ability to see incoming attacks and defend against them.

==Offense==
In order to prevent the opponent from escaping the back mount, the position must have stability. This is generally accomplished by utilizing the practitioner's own legs to hook the inside of the opponent's thighs, (commonly called [[Hooks (grappling)|hooks]]) while holding the opponent's neck or arms to maintain chest-to-back contact. Such a position can be very difficult to escape. The opponent may attempt to roll, but the hooks and chest-to-back contact will allow the practitioner to roll with the opponent. The practitioner that has the back mount is in a very advantageous position. He can strike with [[punch (strike)|punches]], [[elbow (strike)|elbows]] and [[headbutt]]s, or alternatively attempt a [[rear naked choke]], various collar-[[chokehold|chokes]] as well as [[armlocks]].

==Defense==
It is nearly impossible to attack an opponent who is mounted directly behind one's back. If the opponent does not have the legs hooked or chest to back contact, it is possible to roll into the [[mount (grappling)|mount]]; although this does not improve the [[grappling position|positioning]] much, it is at least possible to see and block the opponent's strikes from the mounted position. If the opponent has the legs hooked in, those [[Hooks (grappling)|hooks]] need to be removed, for instance by pulling them out using the arms. Once they have been removed, there is an increase in mobility, making it possible to wriggle into the mount, or try to turn and entangle a leg into a [[half guard]].  Using the arms to pull out the hooks, however, leaves one's neck open to the rear naked choke.  There are effective positional methods of escaping the back mount.

To remove chest to back contact, the mounted opponent can grab an attacker's wrist with two hands and move it over their head to the other side. If the mounted opponent is much larger/stronger than the mounting fighter, they may actually be able to stand up and slam his opponent into a nearby wall or fall backwards onto their back (and opponent). Doing this with enough force may knock the wind out of the dominant opponent, or at least enable one to break free.

Another standard escape involves the mounted opponent touching their head to the ground to temporarily prevent against a choke while also attempting to roll into the dominant opponent's guard.  Alternatively, while basing with the head on the ground, the mounted opponent can use their legs or arms to remove one of the hooks to make rolling into the guard easier.

If the mounting opponent has their ankles crossed while holding the rear mount (similar to the positioning in closed guard), the opponent being mounted can use a [[Figure-four (grappling hold)|Figure 4]] leglock to apply a submission against the dominant fighter. This can result in a [[Submission (combat sport)|tapout]] or possible injury, depending on the circumstances.<ref>(see back mount escape in [[Okuri-Eri-Jime]] or [http://www.grapplearts.com/weblog-archive/2005_05_01_archive.htm])</ref> Generally, opponents skilled in ground fighting will not cross their ankles or not cross them long enough to allow this to happen.
