The Diamond Back Attack by Joel Bane

The back is the most dominant position in grappling, and Coach Joel Bane attacks it with something most jiu-jitsu players never train against: catch wrestling.

A 3rd degree BJJ black belt out of the Rigan Machado association, a Luta Livre black belt under 8th degree Grand Master Hugo Duarte, and the founder and head coach of Snake Pit U.S.A., Joel Bane brings nearly 25 years across jiu-jitsu, catch wrestling, freestyle and Greco, boxing and muay thai
In The Diamond Back Attack, Coach Bane lays out a complete system for total back dominance across eight volumes, from the three primary control positions and the six foundational entries to the attacks, the double wrist lock and the Russian tie.
This isn't another collection of back takes, it's positional control and catch wrestling pressure aimed at what Bane calls the quarter-inch finish, where a submission is won by the smallest adjustment.
