Stop The Shot - Take The Back

From American Top Team - Palm Beach Gardens

September 4, 2026

Coach Avto breaks down how to shut down a wrestling shot, clear the hips, and transition straight to back control.

Key details to focus on:
• Immediate leg movement and heavy hips to stop the drive
• Using the arm drag to turn the corner
• Cut the angle to secure the back

Save this for your next wrestling/grappling session!

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
