Stop Getting CRUSHED In Side Control (Do THIS)

John Danaher black belt and No-Gi World Champion Placido Santos reveals the exact "Over-Back" framing system he uses to escape one of the worst positions in BJJ and turn it into a devastating sweep.

In this video, Bernardo Faria and Placido Santos break down how to escape the dreaded reverse-underhook side control. You will learn how to systematically separate your opponent's elbows from their knees, secure an over-back grip, and use their own body weight against them—similar to the highly effective Octopus Guard.

Placido’s story is incredible: he balances raising 8 kids and running a small school while competing at the highest levels, proving that highly efficient, risk-taking technique can conquer youth and brute strength.
