The butterfly guard is a very powerful position, but if you know what to do, then you can defend the sweep, smash the guard, and take the back. This technique from the Rolling Backtakes for Everyone instructional (https://www.grapplearts.com/rollingbacktakes) is one of my very favorite ways to do just that, and if I can do it as a 54-year-old man with a hip replacement, then you can do it too!

The post Rolling Backtakes Are For Everyone appeared first on jitseasy.

Rolling backtakes have become part of modern jiu-jitsu, but they’re undeniably intimidating. Here’s the simplest one you can do: just learn to identify the trigger position (3/4 mount), make sure his hands are on one side of your body, and then roll on the other side. There are many details, tweaks, and variations that we’ll cover at some point in the future, but I just want to get you hitting this move so that you learn to believe in it. Let me know how this goes!

The post How to Go Upside Down Safely in BJJ Without Hurting Your Neck or Back appeared first on jitseasy.

Over the last few years, I have won quite a few rolling backtake battles. All because of one reason. I understood the central micro battle in the transition, and that often led to opportunities to either reverse the backtake or at least kill the threat..

And you’ll learn that same lesson in this video.

The post The Easiest Way to do the Rolling Backtake and Take the Back From Mount appeared first on jitseasy.

Recently I posted a video of myself and some tough BJJ Black Belts rolling and training before the No Gi Pans.

There were several techniques used in the video that many of you had questions about.

So I’ll go through and answer the technique related questions you have about the roll.

In this video I cover one of the Guard passing back take combinations I used during the training.

It starts with a Double Under Pass variation and then moves into a rolling back take from the, often called, Truck position from 10th Planet.

You may not call it the Truck, but for the sake of the video, it’s what we’ll use.

I also share the progression of the move and where it came from. As I originally used the Truck position and the rolling back take from other positions like Mount and Turtle first.’

If you were interested in this technique from the previous video, or want a Guard passing back take chain of techniques. Than I hope this video is helpful.

Chew on that.
