I've been trying to use the sweep to back take that Mendes shows in the first video. I've been mostly unsuccessful with the back take because I don't have good enough control and it always seems to create a scramble. But it's given me one more option to threaten my opponent with from DLR guard if nothing else.
This is from a private lesson I had with Rafa+Gui:
Quote:
Back take from DLR guard:
One hand on ankle (leg that is hooked). Free hand goes to opponent's belt. Free foot pushes on their hip so that they step back. If they step back, use free leg behind opponent's leg that is dlr hooked, centre yourself, use both legs to push them out and take the back.
If instead of stepping back, they sit down, move your head close to their hips and get up on your shoulders (invert). Then, the hand that was grabbing their ankle will grab the far ankle. Use both of your legs and the ankle to lift them over so they are infront of you. Scoot your hips back, establish steatbelt grip, insert second hook.
This thing is just crazy. My teacher tried to teach me that, but I didn't quite get it. Although he called it the biribondo, which is the way you call wasps if you are very educated and well instructed. It was... different so I don't know if it's the same thing. Does anyone know?
