Lazy Guard to Back Takes

Low-energy approach to BJJ built around back takes from various guard positions. What if your entire game is oriented toward getting behind your opponent from closed guard, half guard, & de la riva

Flow outline

  1. Preguiça Back Takes

    • Key detail: the core experiment: what if prioritize the back above all else? is starting hypothesis, exploring low-energy pathways to the most dominant position from various guards

  2. Closed Guard

    • first laboratory. What if, from here, don't look for traditional sweeps or submissions first? Instead, experiment with immediate back-taking pathways, testing reactions to knee inversions and opponent posture changes. Don’t force it

  3. Passagem Emborcada

    • Key detail: a variation to consider: what if the opponent attempts a stack pass? position becomes a potential pivot point, testing if can still find a route to the back even when being passed

  4. Half Guard

    • A critical junction for experiment. What if Half Guard isn't just a defensive or sweeping position, but a primary hub for back attacks? test entries like the electric chair and kimura, and explore what happens if the opponent knee cuts through. Switch if it stalls

  5. De La Riva

    • Adding an open guard variable to the mix. What if De La Riva can feed directly into lazy back-taking ? experiment with entries targeting the far leg or knee-scooping actions to connect the pathways. Don’t force it

  6. Cadeirinha Com Os Ganchos

    • If they frame, quick note: a successful back control outcome from one experimental path. but what if the opponent defends the hooks? the experiment continues from here. don’t force it

  7. Cadeira Elétrica

    • Once set, a specific half guard variation 're testing. what if the electric chair setup is most reliable entry to the back from position? compare it against other options

  8. Kimura Pras Costas

    • another half guard experiment: what if use the kimura grip not for the submission, but primarily as a lever to take the back? testing its efficiency versus other methods

  9. Meia Profunda

    • Often A potential outcome from the mount pathway. What if achieving deep half guard is a reset point that circles back into main back-taking experiment from Half Guard? Angle matters
