of knee mount. Located at
Angkor Wat(
1100's A.D.) in the Kingdom of
Cambodia. Knee-on-stomach is an advantageous position, where the top combatant can effectively
strike similarly to in the
mounted position, and also
transition into various
holds or other
positions, and also easily disengage and escape if needed. It is not however considered as stable as the mount, which on the other hand complements the knee-on-stomach well, since it is possible to easily transition from one to another in response to escape or
sweep attempts by the opponent. A common
submission hold applied from this
position is the
juji-gatame armbar, which can be performed if the opponent extends their hands in an attempt to push the top combatant off. The top combatant can sometimes
submit the bottom combatant from this position by simply using their weight to compress the
torso, hence causing
pain and
compressive asphyxia. ==See also==
