Technical Mount

Also known as: Tech Mount · Knee-Up Mount · Seated Mount

When the mounted player turns to their side, the top player posts one foot by their hips and keeps the other shin across their back — mount, adapted to a turning opponent. It is the tollbooth between mount and the back: the opponent’s turn either gets stopped here or paid for with back control.
