How to take the back from side control — video 5 in Section 4 (Side Control) of the BJJ Fundamentals Course at Nakama BJJ.

Taking the back is always a high-value transition in BJJ. From side control, when your opponent turns away to escape or defend submissions, they expose their back. This video shows you how to recognise the opportunity and secure back control.

In this video you'll learn:
- Recognizing when your opponent gives up back access from side control
- Transitioning from side control to back control
- Securing hooks and the seatbelt grip
- Common mistakes that let your opponent escape
