Another S-Mount
BJJ instructors like to have different names for things. The S-mount described above was taught to me as "S-mount" and "High mount".
What J-J. Machado and Royce Gracie demonstrate in their respective books as an S-mount is a transition from side-control to mount. The move is acomplished by brining the legs to a kesa gatame position, posting the top leg, and swinging the bottom (extended leg) in an arc over the opponent's head, so that you end up mounted. The path of the leg moving from side-control, through the base switch, to mount, describes an "S".
