Innovative information and very digestible
a lot of good points
Loved the details on handfighting and chokes using straight jacket
really solid details on an vital part of any grappler's game.
Been actively using this in my rolls, having a lot more success from the back and hope to utilize these techniques and concepts in competition.
Great series. You should be able to finish on the back if you get there no matter what after finishing this series. Great stuff.
A great teacher for instructionals and contains great details of back control and finishing techniques. Only thing missing is some CJ humour. Few more years in Texas and it may rub off . Ethan, you have to remember that us BJJ fanatics have no life and these videos serve as our episodes of Seinfeld and CSI combined
different grip battles and concepts he backs up with techniques to win from the back. also amazing back escape chapter. great instruction
Both offensive and defensive parts are useful. Most poistions are shown from a variety of angles, and discussed carefully
Best value insructional
Very detailed, clear instructions!
good video
Really great content from Ethan that has helped my back attacks.
The escapes section alone makes the purchase worth it. I've been escaping back control from higher belts with this and it's rad.
Thorough series of attacks, with good camera angles, not too much repetition. The intro on escapes your opponent is on your back has significantly improved my escapes and survival, especially in body triangle, a great unexpected bonus. I also like how Ethan asks Nick Ortiz to resist strongly, it adds to the realism of applying the techniques to a resisting opponent. The material on reverse triangle and breaking down tight defenses, like the Dracula arm position, are very solid. I gave Ethan a 4 star review for his Loose Passing because it lacked rolling footage. This one does too but I think it is better and more comprehensive.
Nice instructional Ethan, but could you maybe stop interrupting during the podcast? Thanks.
Great content
this is the sort of video you can review for a couple years. killer
Increase my sub rate in the gym. OSSSSSAAAA
Very thoughtful look at back control.
Amazing instructional. I love how it shows escapes and attacks.
Great details very improve my back atack
Great content, straight forward but still full of great details
This is an excellent video for anything regarding the back. The back escapes in the beginning justify the price of the video. If you have ever gotten stuck in a body triangle, this is the video to help you. The amount of techniques and tips excel most instructional courses.
Some good new ideas. Broad coverage of attacks and escapes.
This instructional broke down different concepts to keep in mind when attacking on the back. It also covered certain escapes and how to counter them. It was definitely a helpful instructional.
Very informative from one of the best back takers in modern jiu jitsu.
Innovativ as f*ck, this is the new stuff everbody gone use in a few years.
This is a very nice instructional. Ethan communicates his ideas quite well. Lots of neat and onorthodox ideas. This instructional also has a fantastic back escape section that goes well beyond the basic escapes that most people use. Back attacks and escapes are invaluable in bjj. I look forward to implementing these in training. Good value.
Good details, and easy to follow. Ethan seems like he's continuing to grow as an instructor.
Great instructional, nice to see escapes from back body triangle as well as the multitude of back attacks. A lot of material in here, well worth purchasing.
As expected
I really enjoyed this product, covering defence and offence from the back.
This instructional is awesome bro. It has so many details and all of the techniques work in sequence. I would 100% buy this again.
Really helped my back game. Some excellent details that i had never been taught.
Definitely has some unique stuff on here which I appreciated. I would have liked some more escapes from the choke side down as all of them were demonstrated from underhook side down. But otherwise I enjoyed the content
This was just what I needed to improve my back attacks. I like all the variations and how he included triangles from the back.
Ethan could definitely grow as an instructor, but it's obvious that he's talented and could have a good career in coaching. For the hand fighting section alone, I'd give this five stars. Also, some of his techniques are just so creative and a good supplement to over back instructionals. However, for some of the other details, there are some better resources. I wouldn't make this your sole guide to fighting from the back, but it's definitely worth your time.
very good!
Excellent tutorial
Great new selection of Concepts on attacking with both hands from the back.
Ethan Crelinsten is a mastermind of controlling and finishing the back. In addition, you get unconventional ways to escape the back which I’ve never seen explored before. He’s an excellent teacher and I can’t wait to get another instructional from him. A must-have in your collection for exploring the back.
This is a **** of a deal for what is included. Ethan is one of the best nogi instructors out there and has great details for the current meta game. Can't recommend this enough.
Attacks
Ethan is awesome. very clear instruction. Great stuff here
Great attacks and also explores the common defences to back attacks so you get 2 for 1.
Ethan is incredible with his break downs of his technique. No surprise competes at the highest level. This is a must for people who compete or train with heel hooks and leglocks.
Ethan goes over some basic escapes and then shows how to counter them. He shows an interesting system that I hadn't seen before. I was worried this would be the same as Danaher's straight jacket system, but I was happy that it is completely different. Ethan's approach helped me deal with stubborn opponents.
Ethan is known among B-Team as having the best back attacks and escapes, shows in the content of this instructional
Ive never got an instructional before but have always had a hard time getting submissions on the back. I did a submission only tournament and took everyones back, but didnt submit anyone from there. Something had to change, and while i dont have too hard a time getting to the back, once there i typically get bored failing at chokes so eventually try an ill advised arm bar and lose position. This instructional seemed like it was exactly what i needed, and it was. I bought this instuctional and at the next training session, i tapped both people i rolled with in a rnc, one of which was a brown belt. I cant remember ever tapping anyone except the newest white belts with rnc's before this video. Just a bunch of little details that made a huge difference for me. Video is thorough but not too slow for my taste. I think everyone should get it!
