Back attack tips in BJJ

Here is a back attack tips in BJJ. When behind an opponent, create the constant threat of chokes and make them defend. Everything else you do feeds off this. The back is the ultimate position in no-gi grappling (and you could also argue that the same is true in gi Jiu-Jitsu and fighting). However, like any position, it has its limitations and getting the position does not guarantee victory against tough opponents. It is very important then, that you create a constant and unrelenting threat of chokes from the back so that your opponent MUST address it or be finished. If you ever see your opponent getting forgetful and raising his chin, go! Snake your wrist under the chin and finish them! If they are disciplined with their chin position, use his defensive chin and hands against him with arm traps and chokes that make defense very difficult indeed. Another plus is that by forcing them to use their hands to defend your attack, you immobilize their hands so they can’t be used to escape the position.
