I’ve just released a brand new instructional called Rolling Backtakes for Everyone!
Rolling backtakes are a group of techniques that teleport you directly to your opponent’s back, the most dominant position in jiu-jitsu.
More black belt submissions in competition happen from the back than any other position, which is why events like EBI, WNO, ADCC and Quintet are full of the pros hitting rolling backtakes.
For a long time rolling backtakes were considered to be “advanced” techniques and reserved for physically gifted people.
But jiu-jitsu has evolved, and now even white belts and blue belts are hitting rolling backtakes from everywhere, including static positions, guard passes, scrambles, and leglocks. The game has changed, and you can either evolve with it or be left behind.
The good news is that rolling backtakes are much simpler than they look.
If you know how to train them and do a shoulder roll, you can almost certainly incorporate them into your game.
Case in point, I’m 54 years old, I’ve had a hip replacement, I’m not nearly as flexible or athletic as when I was younger, and I use rolling backtakes much MORE now.
The thing is that if you understand the mechanics and how to do them properly, you don’t need flexibility, you don’t need athleticism, you don’t need crazy strength, and you don’t need to be young.
In Rolling Backtakes for Everyone we cover the mechanics, entries, training methods, counters, and drills to make you really good at rolling backtakes as fast as possible.
Most of the problems people have with this technique can be fixed with little adjustments, and I will show you how to make those adjustments.
