Today I’m going to share two of my favourite attacks from side control, namely taking the back.
Someone on the bottom of side control is usually expecting armlock and choke attacks, as well as mount and knee ride transitions. They’re usually NOT expecting you to take their back unless they decide to turn to turtle.
That’s why the two attacks in this video are so unexpected, and it always makes me smile when I hit them.
Believe me when I say that these rolling style attacks are a LOT easier to pull off than they look. You simply need to become familiar with moving your body in an easy, but initially non-intuitive manner.
And if you think they require flexibility then let me stop you right there – I’m definitely an Old F*** and with a full hip replacement in my body I have nowhere near the flexibility of my youth.
To help you with figuring out the basic mechanics of the rolling backtake check out this extensive article, video, and photographic breakdown called How to Do the Rolling Backtake the Easiest Way.

More black belt matches end with chokes from the back than any other kind of submission, making back control the king of positions in jiu-jitsu. But getting to the back can be super difficult, especially when your opponents get wise to your regular techniques. You need to mix things up and not be predictable.
Rolling backtakes are a family of techniques that teleport you onto your opponent’s back almost instantly. These are highly effective, difficult-to-stop, competition-proven moves that are regularly used by many of today’s top competitors.
