back attack

REVOLVER MMA & Chris Herzog brings you another Tech Vid too up your ground game check out these back control attacks!!

3rd Degree black belt Prof. Olavo Abreu shows us a nice Omoplata setup from the butterfly guard. The technique also shows a very nice transition from the Omoplata to take the back.

Every now and then when we are searching the internet to bring you the coolest and newest fighting techniques we find a  entry that make us say to ourselves, "Why didn't we think of that?".  This entry to the back is one such technique, check it out and let us know what you think. We are sorry, but unless you speak Portuguese, you'll have to just watch the technique without understanding the audio.

The "Berimbolo" is the "it" technique in grappling right now. Before the Berimbolo, it was the "Rubber Guard","The Peruvian Neck Tie", "The Twister" and before that it was "The D'arce". A long, long time ago the popular techniques of the day were "Reclaiming Guard", "Mount Escapes", "Position Control" and "Guard Passes".

I'm being a bit cynical in that top statement, but I'm stressing the importance of basics. It is cool however that our sport that we love is constantly evolving, providing new innovative techniques to practice and to be aware of.

Monday's suck. However, hopefully these three moves which include an ankle lock, a takedown and a back attack from the boys at advantage MMA will help the day go by better. Check out the nice grip variation in the first leglock. You can see this same grip used live by Victor Estima in competition in this footage by clicking here

Hillary Williams and Joanne of MMAGirls.net shows us a nice little trick for slipping that hook in when your opponent goes to turtle up on you

For a long time, I struggled with the back mount position.  Reaching back mount and setting my hooks required an extraordinary amount of effort, and once I accomplished that goal, I bumbled about trying to set a choke and my opponent would ultimately escape.  In many cases, I preferred to play guard simply because I was better at it.  Taking the back was just a good way for me to get points, not to finish fights.

It's a good day to attack someone's back, and Lockflow is here with three techniques to help make that a reality.

The 1st video is of a sneaky somersault attack from inside your opponent's open guard. The second video is grappling wizard Ryan Hall's rolling back attack from side control. The final video is from one of Lockflow's own members, NSBJJ as he gives a tip to defeat a half mount variant with a back attack.

yes, yes and yes !!! (insert Diego Sanchez Cartwheel here)
