Taking the Back

by Vitor “Shaolin” Riberio

Passing the guard and taking an opponent’s back in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu match is a huge advantage. Here Shaolin shows you one way to do it:

Shaolin (in black) has pinned both of Todd’s legs to the ground in order to pass his guard

Todd turns, trying to get to his knees to prevent the guard pass and pin. This is a common tactic in high-level Brazilian jiu-jitsu competition. Shaolin stays close and…

Shaolin now inserts his right leg obtaining the rear mount, a highly advantageous position in both Brazilian jiu-jitsu and on the street.

Thanks to Todd Dorion for being the opponent in this technique.
