Take the Back
(Guard, with gi)

A Technique from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Courtesy bjjfighter.com

These techniques should only be practiced with the supervision of an experienced instructor.
Practicing the moves incorrectly could result in serious bodily injury or death.

I begin with my opponent in my closed guard.
I open my guard and begin the setup for the scissor sweep.
My opponent makes the mistake of putting both hands on the same side.

I start by reaching over his back with my left arm and secure a grip on the inside of his gi, I also hook his right leg with my right leg.
Once I am around I pull up on his gi to create room for my second hook.
I sink the hook and secure back mount.
