takedown from the back
we've been learning a lot of stand up lately. Not sure if that is an order that has come down from the Gracies but I'm guessing it might be because lately, more and more fights are stand up. today we learned the rubber band take down from the back. grab opponent from behind. your body should be perpendicular on his left side,, hips out, bent at waist, grab him around the waist or higher, press your head facing the right, left cheek flat against his back so that he can't elbow you. shift your hips in a clockwise motion towards his body, reshift your feet if necessary. stick your right foot in front of you, directly behind his right heel. sit down directly backwards. rubber band your arms straight and let the rebound pull him towards the ground to your right. safety: let go of your hands and pull your right elbow against your torso to prevent smacking it against the ground. roll clockwise onto his body; control his left upper arm by leaning against it with your head or chest; assume the modified mount.
