Step-out mount bottom
Also known as Technical Mount — Bottom — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: descriptive
Descriptive — defending the technical (step-out) mount
Step-out mount bottom is a descriptive name for the technical mount bottom position — naming the defence against the stepped-out, knee-up technical mount.
Etymology. “Step-out mount” describes the top player stepping a foot out and a knee up as the bottom player turns; “bottom” frames the defending side. The label names the position by the top player’s step that creates it.
Mechanics. Defence depends on staying off the flattened back to keep frame capacity: turned on a side under the technical mount, the bottom player must avoid being flattened, since a flat back loses the elbow and shoulder frames needed to fight the hooks and reclaim position before the back is taken.
Cross-reference. “Back-exposed mount bottom” and “Half-turned mount” are sibling aliases. Full mechanical coverage on Technical Mount — Bottom.
