Biomechanical Back Takes – Use your structure not your flexibility.

The rolling Back Take is a classic move in No-Gi BJJ that can be used from many positions. However, traditionally, a certain degree of flexibility is needed to make this move work. 

BJJ Blackbelt Bjorn Friedrich has created a complete new approach of the Rolling Back Take. Instead of flexibility, he is using a biomechanical correct body structure that will work without turning yourself into a "Pretzel".

Besides that, it will make the Rolling Back Take much stronger, so you will never find yourself in a 50/50 position. You will always have the mechanical advantage on your site.

This video series will completely change the way you are doing the Rolling Back Take, and it will transform this move in a very powerful technique that work for all practitioners, regardless their age and flexibility levels.
