 How To Take The Back

A tactical blueprint for securing back control—teaching you to dominate from standing, scramble, turtle, and transitions into the most lethal position in grappling.

 Course Overview

Garry Tonon distills his back-taking strategy into a cohesive, step-by-step system. Covering everything from grip setups to scramble awareness, this instructional helps you identify back opportunities and convert them with precision—all while under live resistance.

 What You’ll Learn

• Entry & Control Mechanics
  Hand-fighting and overhook/collar-frame grips to crack posture
  Leveraging shoulder pressure from turtle and side positions to slide around to the back
  Hip positioning and leg control to lock in hooks efficiently
• Transition Patterns
  From turtle: create roll triggers using head pressure and movement
  From standing: entries via arm drags, underhooks, and double-leg transitions
  From past positions: capitalize on pins that allow back slide-in using opponent reaction
• Back Control Lock-In & Retention
  Seatbelt hooks, body triangle positioning, and upper-body grips
  Counter-resistance methods: defend escape attempts with frames, rehooks, and chest pressure
  Drills maintaining tight control under opponent struggles and live rolling

 Who This Course Is For

Ideal for practitioners who:
• Want to reliably take the back against skilled and resisting opponents
• Prefer a structured, drillable system that transitions from entry to control
• Compete in no-gi or grappling tournaments and prioritize back attacks
• Appreciate wide-context training—from standing to turtle takeovers

✅ Key Benefits

• Universal Application
  Effective back-taking methods from multiple positions and contexts.
• Continuity Over Transitions
  Slides into the back during live scrambles rather than static setups.
• Pressure-Driven Entries
  Rely on structural leverage, not strength or athleticism.
• Drill & Real-Roll Ready
  Structured drills teach reflexive, dependable back entries.
