Neiman Gracie and the art of reaching the back.
In every fight he has done in his successful MMA career, Neiman Gracie moved in search of back control, opening up a path to victory. He not only reaches the back with ease, but also stabilizes the position and transitions effortlessly, employing creative, effective finishes. This week at the Renzo Gracie Online Academy, you get access to all of his knowledge on the matter. It's the perfect opportunity for you to develop a mental GPS, mapping shortcuts to your opponents' backs from various positions: the guard, the half-guard, side control, the north-south, the mount.
Born on December 12, 1988, Neiman Gracie is a BJJ black-belt who is undefeated in MMA after eight bouts, with seven wins by submission and one by unanimous decision. His father is Márcio Stambowsky, one of only six black-belts shaped by the legendary Rolls Gracie.
A progression from the closed guard, breaking your opponent's grip on your jacket. Crossing their arm diagonally, you have created a shortcut to control their back. And don't forget the main details shown by Neiman Gracie in this type of attack.
This grip will be used often when you want to surprise opponents that are trying to pass your half-guard. You gained a pummel, passing your arm close to their armpit, and then you placed yourself sideways. These adjustments will enable you to move on to back control.
A variation that will always help with back control from the half-guard. You've seen that, on the bottom on half-guard, you pummel your opponent and seek to move to their back. The passer, however, uses their arm to wrap your pummel, blocking the path. But the escape proposed by Neiman shows how to turn the table.
