In this technique he taught on GM 219, he does just that when he defends a guillotine and then goes for the back take.

Black belt world champion Vitor “Shaolin” Ribeiro is our professor for the day.

Straight from his academy in New York City, he teaches us a sweep that starts in the half guard and ends in the opponent’s back.

Take some time and learn from the fifth-degree black belt that recently had a great showing at the 2016 WPJJC, finishing Daniel Moraes with a bow and arrow choke from the back.

Watch and add it to your game.

The four times world champion and two times ADCC champion returns to teach another technique of his competition-proved arsenal.

Rubens Cobrinha guides you through the workings of a back take for when the opponent is on all fours.

Caio Terra celebrated his 30th birthday this Monday, Feb. 8.

The ten-time black belt world champion (8 times no-gi, 2 times with the gi) is considered to be one of the most technical competitors in history.

Here you find him teaching a back take using the gi and also without the gi.

Pay attention to the differences between the two movements and become a much more versatile athlete.

André Galvão’s favorite way to finish his opponents is to take the back and work on the choke.

In fact, it’s virtually impossible to find a black-belt that does that better than the leader of Atos JJ.

We have resurfaced this video from 2013 where he teaches how to kill the opponent’s half-guard game and end up on their back.

Black belt Erberth Santos was the man of the hour at the 2015 South American championship, this weekend, in Brazil.

He won double gold in the superheavy and the open class division.

Here’s an example of why Erberth is regarded as one of the greatest talents of his generation of black belts.

Take a look at the video and see how he goes from the opponent’s half guard straight to the back.

The key is to flatten your opponent back on the ground before you cartwheel and use th hook on the leg to bring the opponent with you and establish the back control.

Black belt Mark Plavcan is the leader of GMA member academy Twisted Fitness/Alliance, in Madison, WI.

He took a break in his classes to teach a creative way to get from half guard to the opponent’s back.

Watch closely and add this technique to your game.

The trio, brown belt Sarah Black, brown belt Jonathan Van Buren and blue belt Nigel Kurtz, put together a smooth piece of film featuring 30 combinations of Jiu-Jitsu techniques in just five minutes.

The combinations feature takedowns, self-defense techniques, sweeps, back-takes, chokes, locks, reversals and more. See if you can spot the moves and count just how many are used.

Cesar Pereira, third degree black bel professor at GMA C3 Athletics in Stamford, CT knows a slick back-take from the north/south position.

Once you’ve passed, move to the north/south and follow the steps below in this exclusive video to secure back mount.

Many people have been playing around with the position but one brown belt under Rubens Cobrinha Charles has worked on a counter.

Here, Isaac Doederlein explains a way to not only combat the tie-up but he also shows how you can take the back from there. Check it out and let us know if this seems like something you would use:

Should he run outside of the mat which is only inches away? Should he try to quickly turn into his opponent? Maybe if he avoids the seatbelt grip he can still work a traditional back escape. Or is he doomed?

One man, one backflip. Check out this very interesting and successful way that one blue belt was able to use to prevent having his back taken. We don’t recommend you try this, at all:
