Back Take · Gi & No-gi · Difficulty 2/5 · Usually learned at Blue belt

Starts from Technical Mount as the top player → lands in Back Control.

The details that make it work

1. Your shin behind their back becomes the top hook as you sit back — it is already in place.
2. Seatbelt before the tip: over the top shoulder, under the bottom arm.
3. Fall TOWARD their back at an angle, pulling them onto your chest; the second hook or body triangle follows.

Where it goes wrong

• Sitting straight backward instead of at the angle, letting them come up on top inside your guard.

How opponents counter it

• Turn back to flat under mount before the sit-back
• Address the seatbelt and slide down the body
