Master the Art of Rolling Backtakes

Dominate from the Back Position Taking your opponent's back in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu creates an exceptional advantage. Statistics show more black belt matches end with chokes from the back than any other submission, cementing back control as the premier position in the sport.

Overcome Predictability with Dynamic Techniques Accessing the back becomes increasingly challenging as opponents recognize your standard approaches. Rolling backtakes offer a solution—a family of techniques that instantly transport you to your opponent's back. These highly effective, competition-tested moves are regularly employed by today's elite competitors.
