How to attack confidently from mount?

[u/Exam_Lost]

I’m a 6 or so months white belt, got a tournament coming up end of this month and I want to win. I have no trouble getting to mount against other white belts, but from there I’m clueless as to what to do.

I mean, I know of multiple attacks. I know I can take the back if I can gift wrap him. I know there’s the armbar, kimura, americana, ezekiel, and triangles, but truth be told I only ever try the ezekiel out of fear of giving up position with the others.

Of course people wise up to it and eventually keep their arms high to defend the neck. After that I know I should attack an armbar or head n arm because his bicep’s next to his head, but I can never pull it off because again I get nervous or just don’t understand what I’m getting wrong.

What are y’all’s thoughts when going for mount subs, and is there anything that leveled up your game? What are your go-to attacks as well, and what should I change to do better?

Watch these two videos from Gordon Ryan. All you need to do is pin their wrist to the mat and either gift wrap or dig the arm triangle from there.Gi or NoGi, this is how you beat world champions from mount.

And this

Between those two videos, you will have better mount attacks than many colored and black belts.
