????️ 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.
