## Caption

Shut down your opponent’s game by taking away their power source. Inspired by a Craig Jones instructional, these three leg control concepts will make anyone useless on the mats. Instead of settling for a traditional mount where your opponent is comfortable, try shelving their legs across yours to keep their feet off the mat so they can’t generate power. You can also split their legs apart to eliminate their leverage, or pin them flat to the mat with your hips and feet to stop them from turning back to guard. Whenever you take away their lower body movement, they are forced to turn their upper body to adapt. This completely drains their energy while throwing open the doors for back takes, Dagestani handcuffs, and easy submissions like head-arm triangles and Ezekiels. Stop fighting their upper body strength and start controlling the legs to completely neutralize the threat.
