Controlling the Back

Add to Favorites 2602 Remove From Favorites 3929 days ago

Xande teaches two ways to maintain your back control though early or late prevention. The first lesson covers how to use your hooks to readjust back control to prevent your opponent from putting their shoulders and hips on the mats. The second lesson covers how to re-establish the back when your opponent has defeated both hooks but you still have the seatbelt control. In this chair sit motion to retake the back, we maintain close contact to our opponent and slide our knee up to take the back again.

Controlling the Mount

Add to Favorites 2427 Remove From Favorites 3930 days ago

The mount is one of the highest scoring positions in competition jiu jitsu along with the back position because it is a dominant position that allows you to attack your opponent when your opponent is unable to pose a physical threat from underneath the mount. Xande teaches some of the fundamental concepts on how to control your opponent once you have mounted them including how to position your weight and how to transition to control your opponent even when they attempt to escape.

Your opponent may bridge and roll in to you as you're passing the guard or find a way to bridge into you to break the pin from side control. If your opponent is already on their side, it may be hard to re-establish control of the position. Rather than letting them reestablish their guard, spin around to the back side instead to reestablish your side control or to transition to the back.

Add to Favorites 2554 Remove From Favorites 3936 days ago

In this lesson we learn how to transition to a back take when your opponent rolls away from you and you were unable to stop their movement. Sometimes it is better to make a transition instead of trying to force our opponent pinned to stay one step ahead of them. We learn to take the back using the near side hook or with the far side hook with the Garcia Roll when your opponent turns away and attempts to make a running escape from your side control.

Xande teaches one of the most common and fundamental ways to transition from side control to the mount position. In this lesson we start from the hip to hip side control and bring our knee along the line of our opponent's belt to transition all the way to the mount.
