Favorite Attacks From Back Control

I was wondering what your favorite unconventional attacks from back control are with or without the gi.

I like to use the British strangle set up (with one hook in to roll them) and when they are worried about the Gi choke I transition to an arm bar from spider web 8)

The pentagram choke is pretty cool if you can pull it off. They have a tutorial for it on submissions101. There's just something really satisfying about choking a guy with ALL of your limbs :twisted:

i use that sometimes too but i usually go for a guillotine or kimora 1st.. then as they sit up i try for an arm bar and if that doesnt work i try to roll into a triangle.

i love to trap one of a the guys arms with a leg. it makes the rnc a hundred times easier. it is also the best way to beat a guy who is bigger/ stronger than you.

Well, If I can get a tight figure four with my legs, I will often use both palms of my hands to repeatedly box their ears over and over again until they give up or pass out from the pain ;-)

Just the facts maam.

If the RNC isn't happening, I go for the calf-crank/twister back control. I tend to use Bjorn Friedrich's strategies more than Eddie Bravo's.

Check out his stuff here:

Usually just RNC or armbar -I'm not that advanced- just bread n butter subs with a pretty good transitional game, but after reading this I have a few more options/combos.

Being attacked is like being asked a question- if you answer right you won't get asked anymore questions.

Another thing I like to do is if I took their back from turtle, I walk around to a sprawl to keep them in turtle and I use my new fav Gi choke the rolling loop choke :D (I will try to get a vid up as soon as my tatt heals and I can roll again)

I like to fake the RNC and go for an armbar or Kneebar.

I really like looking for the the armbar form the back. Another one of my fav. attacks is kata gatame/side choke from over/under control was using that alot before i got injured, saw it in a UFC fight with Thales Leites and it works really well.

RNC with an arm trapped under one of my hooks. Otherwise, if they stand up on me, i'll fall down and spin to take a heel hook. If I can't get the RNC + arm, i'l fall off their back to one side, grab an arm and spin to an omoplata.

It sounds confusing, I know.

yeah it does sound confusing, but thats kinda the point isn't it?

also... i dont have any "unconventional" moves.... just a plain old RNC, or maybe if i can set it up a triangle from the back... :?

Sounds pretty crazy James, do you have any vids on the kamikaze calf crank? I have never even heard of it and it sounds sweet!!

The video above from Bjork is a really good version of what I do. I have taken some of his stuff and a lot of Eddie Bravo's stuff and mixed them together. It works really well!

Usually I hate gi chokes. It's not that I can't do them...I just don't. I LOVE the rolling loop choke. There's a video of my old instructor pulling it in a competition, I'll post it later when my internet is running faster.

Actually I was joking... I have never done that. I might would consider it in an MMA fight though. I have never once been to a pre-fight meeting to where those were brought up as illegal and also have never heard or read about those types of strikes as being illegal.

Just the facts maam.

Sliding around to Guillotine off the back works great for me and suprises a lot of people! Pequeno's a master of this!
