This month at 10th Planet Van Nuys in Coach Alder’s class we are going to be focusing on the back. The back is a great position that opens up numerous submissions. Prior to focusing on submissions though you should always focus on positioning first. Having rolled with several higher level belts, I can say that a good back control can be very intimidating.  In the video below Ryan Hall breaks down some of his principles of back control. I really like how Ryan breaks down the control and talks about hip placement and his breakdown of the Harness position. Enjoy and let me or one of the other coaches know if you have any questions regarding the back!
