Training Session - Back Take

The back-take opens up a range of possibilities for submissions. But in order for it to be effective, there are many requirements to control your opponent and bring the match to an end. In this training session, check out techniques taught by Luca Atalla, John Colish, Jean Jacques Machado, Rolles Gracie and Renzo Gracie. They include tips for taking the back on the ground and standing, with transitions and grips that will prove precious in your fights.

In July 2018, Renzo Gracie made history by winning an MMA match at 51, against an opponent ten years younger. He fought historic bouts in Pride FC in the 90s and became a crucial player in the transition between vale-tudo and modern MMA. He also stood out through the birth and rise of submission wrestling organization the Abu Dhabi Combat Club, where he became a two-time champion, and also won a super fight at the age of 50. Renzo is one of the most respected martial arts teachers in the world and runs a 15,000 sq. ft. academy located in the heart of Manhattan, NY.
