Back Trap to Butterfly Arm Bar

Back Side Control is great, but you can make it even better by trapping his near arm. This then puts you in a top crucifix, allowing to really punish this person with strikes. But, we can also catch a sneaky arm bar if he gets lost defending strikes. This is not the highest percentage move out there, but it works well enough, and it will setup other attacks I will cover later.

Back Side Control Rear Naked Choke Follow Up Attacks: Short Choke, Neck Crank, Bull Dog Choke

It’s not always easy to sink in that rear naked choke. Sometimes as you are digging under their neck, you fall short of being able to clasp the shoulder. When you fall short, you go into a short choke, aka the Fedor choke.

The key here is to dig your other arm’s elbow into their back as if you were going to do preacher curls off their back. Your head also pushes behind their head to help create the choking collision of his neck and your forearm.

But even the short choke can fall short if they tuck their chin in. Then we just use the same short choke mechanics for a neck crank. This one is no fun for the partner, so practice caution when using this.

Finally, if this person was so tough that you couldn’t even turn their chin to get across their neck, we rake their chin the opposite way and go into a bull dog choke. This is my best way of setting up a bull dog choke, and it is a devastating choke when done right. Just like with the RNC, keep your hips pointing down as you lift high up on the hands and drop your shoulder behind their neck.

Back Side Control Setup to Rear Naked Choke

After my ADCC run in 2007, I realized I needed to work on attacking the turtle position more effectively, as I had a hard time dealing with the turtle guard of Tarsis Humphries. The Kimura Trap System was developed shortly after, but I also developed what I call the Back Trap System.

The Back Trap System is a way of attacking the back without a traditional back mount with hooks. Why wouldn’t I want to use hooks? First, I wasn’t good at getting there. Second, when I did get there, I had a hard time keeping people there. Third, I didn’t want to risk getting reversed when they escaped.

With the Back Trap, you will be riding from top the entire time, which has many benefits. First, you do not commit. At any moment in time, I can back away to my feet. This is very different from a back mount with hooks. While it is a dominant position, it is also requires full commitment once engaged and does not allow you to back away easily as usually the opponent will end up on top. Second, by staying on top, you get to drop you weight on your opponent the entire time. Any time you get to use body weight against your opponent, you are winning the battle of attrition. Third, by being on top, you still maintain leverage to strike effectively, while you still can work a lot of submissions as well.

These are some of the main benefits, but lets get into the first position and finish, the back side control with the classic rear naked choke. Some people think that you cannot finish a rear naked choke without the hooks, which couldn’t be further from the truth. This back side control is a very versatile position, and easy to get to from a basic front headlock. The quick entry also allows for a quick catch of the choke.
