Marcelo Garcia- Winning Techniques of Submission Grappling (series 1) vol. 2- Mastering the Back

Taking the Back.

From Butterfly position.

Timing is important.

Size of opponent doesn't matter.



Opponent grabs ankles. Legs are dominated. If you wait too long, opponent is able to work to pass.

Before they do anything- wrist control, grab tricep, kick leg, PULL them across. Break grip.



Don't let them get your legs between their legs

Take hook out and plant it on the floor

Drag them past you

Drive them to the floor- other leg goes between legs




Chest goes to upper back




Keep it tightly clenched

Hand over shoulder-under armpit (harness)

Leg becomes hook. Hook comes over.

Either spread them out or look to finish right away.

If they go to side, finish from there.

neck is open

after you drag, you can immediately get neck.




take them to side with hooks and finish



more details- coming up on the elbow

reminder- go right away once opponent tries to control!

leg helps hips come closer



opponent grabs hands to defend neck




opponent starts escape- free leg turning and trying to escape



never let hands go- keep locked at chest

come up on elbow, pull hook out slightly



bring leg across opponent's waist



natural reaction- stretch leg out to get out of near body triangle

then put hook in

look for choke

more details

armdrag opponent

lock harness

they defend with leg

come out to side on elbow

use leg to stretch them out OR they just straighten and give up the hook

from back position-getting the choke

important- during course of move- keep harness tight against you

hand position- lower arm with hand on top

when neck is open a little, JAM hand
don't slip, JAM into throat
grab onto shoulder




pull other arm out, lock mata leao

if they defend chin tightly-
JAM hand on throat, pull forehead up
grab as much of forehead as you need




more counters to common defense

reminder- back never separates from your chest

once you pull forehead up, they pull hand down

always return to harness!

need to trap hand- grab with either hand to feed down (use on same side of choking hand)



now it's 2 on 1!

they only have one hand to defend.

more on hooks

from turtle and one hook inside

chest on back with harness

opponent drives back and bridges into you, gets hip out




you lose second hook

can not lose hand lock

don't let them grab legs either

walk feet away from arms (perpendicular to opponent now)



bridge and get to knees



force opponent to sit
why? you can choose whichever side you are comfortable with




before back hits mat, put second hook in
otherwise you may have to repeat from step one

from sweep

butterfly
you sweep, they post




switch to x guard momentarily



underhook hand grabs under knee
elbow control hand switches quickly

you switch underneath and get back hooks



hands immediately grab ankles

they stand, you sweep
if they don't stand, drive them forward

must be FAST or they can recover

immediately jump on back and lock up harness, get hooks, start choking

from side control

keep knees against body (everything tight)
hand stopping hips

lock them down TIGHT- leave one escape option

they move towards outside

start exposing back



harness, sit them up, put in hooks

more from side control

opponent not rolling to outside
set them up- take hand away from blocking hip and put on other side

they turn into you, pull them towards you and go for single leg (don't let them get it tight)

arm goes like crossface (first part of harness)




start locking harness, sprawl back leg



from standing

they shoot to single leg-


free knee and kick over to spin around, get harness in






if neck is open, choke
if chin is to chest, secure harness and hooks

single leg, head inside
if you wait too long, you get taken down



grab armpit and elbow



get head to other side

step to side, drive head into center, take down



lock up harness

from back control
from back control- takedowns are too tiring, taking the back takes less energy

go to side you're looking at first



slam them down
