I have been playing with this concept after working with a tough bigger partner for a long time. Your video is very helpful in breaking this down. I think this is a very good approach to tough guards.
Hi Aaron, I know that you are not very active now but I´ve recently bought your BJJ Fanatics leg drag instructional because I love your channel. I just wonder why you prefer the leg drag to the truck/twister hook. Is there any particular reason? Why go to the leg drag position when you can potentially take the back early. I assume you can get more point doing so if you pass the guard or take the back next but are you not losing a greater submission position? greetings from spain.
This entry into the rolling back take is one of the simpler ones I’ve done. For some reason, the lock down version from mount I have the most trouble with. Mostly due to stiffness in my upper neck/shoulders and problems granby rolling. Kudos!!
First off many thanks for the awesome content and well explained technique breakdowns. I really enjoy this split style (1 leg inside 1 out) but on Nogi I have been having alot of difficulty with leg lockers setting up various entanglements, any suggestions to help negate that from this style of passing?
Joshua Cummings thanks so much! I still pass this way without the gi but you are risking a bit in that sense. You just have to be more aware of what they are attempting to do and keep them defending. Try not to hangout there. Leg pummeling is a must, knowing when to close the space and be tight, and chaining movements. I have some other passing videos from this position but will do a series of no gi passing eventually.
Mac if you can get your hands on a pull up bar, that’s what I’ve been using! Trying to do 100 a day in any increments. If you can’t, there are some great core workouts, in/outs, leg raises, short crunches with your legs up (like your holding full guard), x sit ups ( lie flat and sit up and bring right arm to left foot, left arm to right foot). I could share more, it may be worth making a video on as I write this out...
Christian Gin when performing the berimbolo the leg work is different but getting your knee behind theirs is crucial as well. It works as a counter to the berimbolo as well. I actually like when people berimbolo me because I “robolo” with this concept and take their back 90% of the time.
There is a slight risk although minimal. Once your knee is behind their knee there’s almost no risk. I don’t want to say “no” risk because accidents happen but I’ve don’t this 1000 times with no injuries yet. The truck is more dangerous imo when someone spazzes and leg presses.

You are the man!
Thanks so much!
Any advice/workouts you advise at home? Stance and motion, push ups/crunches? I don’t have any weights. Sets/reps/time.

Hey Mac, one of our coaches recorded a simple routine that you can do without weights. Might help you: ua-cam.com/video/vYbbU7whLjA/v-deo.html
Another great video! Does this motion work with berimbolo as well?

Awesome thanks for this, is there much risk in someone bigger spazzing and hurting your leg when they leg press? If so how’s best to mitigate that?
