In jiujitsu, having back control is arguably the most advantageous position you could possibly be in. You have a full arsenal of submissions at your disposal while your opponent has very little offensive firepower. Andre Galvao, one of the world’s top jiujitsu competitors, has been able to catch opponents like Chael Sonnen, Braulio Estima, and Bruno Bastos with the rear naked choke. Here the 5-time ADCC champion shows how to get there when you’re stuck in your opponent’s half guard and they have a deep underhook.
To see more from Andre Galvao you can visit his Atos Jiu Jitsu academy online or in San Diego, California!
