This Video World Champion Sebastian Serpa shows one of his most effective systems for taking the back. Most people think of the X Guard as a purely sweeping position, but this system Sebastian used makes it so easy to take the back. The benefit is that if you have a really difficult opponent with a tough guard instead of having to pass after sweeping you can just end the match immediately by going to the back. We show his system as well as some of our favorite ways for setting up the single leg x position.
