What Will You Learn?

????️ Power Switch Guard Retention & Genius Back Takes
A dynamic two-part system combining elite-level guard retention techniques with high-level back take transitions—all from a pressure-tested, flow-first paradigm.

???? Course Overview

Mikey Musumeci applies his world-champion expertise to guard recovery and back control. In the Power Switch Guard Retention section, he refines advanced frame-based resets and movement patterns that help you recover against oppressive passing. In the Genius Back Takes segment, Mikey shows how to seamlessly convert those defensive moments into back takes, blending precision, timing, and grip sequencing.

???? What You’ll Learn

  • Guard Retention Foundations
    Frame resets: knee-shield adjustments, elbow-driven hip escapes, and innovative "switch flow" drills
    Hip recovery patterns: re-guard entries designed for tight passing situations
    Sequential grip actions to stall, reset, and recover guard with structural integrity
  • Advanced Retention Concepts
    Fix-and-reposition methods to counter pressure smash and leg-weave passes
    Active counters that mirror top-side pressure, enabling escapes against size and strength
    Live flow training drills to embed instinctive retention under rolling pressure
  • Back Take Transition Strategies
    Grip and posture triggers that initiate back-take drafts from turtle, seated, or flipped positions
    Seatbelt and rear-position sequencing from retention scramble zones
    Transition chains into body-triangle, bow-and-arrow finishes, and dynamic chokes
  • Drill Integration & Live Application
    Partner drills that fuse guard recovery into immediate back control setups
    Sparring demonstrations showing how back take entries evolve from escaped pressure
    Greg Brown–style coaching cues to ingrain flow and recognition in real time

???? Who This Course Is For
