About this technique
The mount-position hold with its control varied: astride uke but off-centre, an arm and the head wrapped differently or a leg threaded through. The practical form of tate-shiho when uke is escaping.

Key points
- Stay astride with hooks or grapevined legs; the seat is the hold
- Wrap whatever is available: arm and head together is strongest
- Ride the bridge loosely and re-centre; chasing stiffly loses it

Step by step
These steps describe the standard right-handed form without relying on the video.
Left-handed: these steps use the standard right-handed form. Swap every left and right.
- Sit astride your partner's body as for the vertical hold, seat on their belly, knees on the mat either side.
- Vary the control to what they give you: wrap their left arm and head together, or thread one of your legs under theirs, or shift your weight off-centre towards one hip.
- Keep your chest low on theirs and your head down beside theirs on the controlled side.
- Hook your feet under their thighs, or grapevine your legs around theirs, so bridging cannot simply tip you.
- Float with each bridge, hips loose, and settle back down; the hold is kept by returning to heaviness, not by rigidity.

Receiving it
Mounted weight, but shifting: the control moves as you move, which is what makes the broken form harder to time. Bridge and turn in combinations rather than single big efforts, protect your neck by keeping your chin down, and use the moments they re-centre to recover an arm. Tap clearly if you need to stop.

VI judo notes
Astride them you can feel everything, so the hold is kept by answering what you feel rather than by gripping hard. A bridge arrives under your seat, a turn as one hip dropping away; float with the first and settle back down. Take whichever control they give you, arm and head together or a threaded leg, and keep your head down beside theirs so you know at once if they turn.
