First time really focusing on back control. Very straightforward to the point back control maintenance tips that are immediately helping my game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Absolute Must Have!
A. W. first points out the three spots of back control. Second how to get him to the underhookside if he pressures towards the head or pulls him self downwards or to the opposite of the underhook side. Then he shows how to control the turtle position and bring him back to the underhook back control. RNC series is about how to get to the best possible RNC finish and when and how to transition to other submissions. The recovery covers then your are chest to back while you are half kneeling behind your opponent and the tasks and importance of the two hooks and how to regain them and when and how to use the gift wrap/armbarposition when you lean over on top turtle to get back to to the back. Followed by when and how to use the arm triangle to chase the back and when to chase and when to pul him into you to get back to the back. Highly recommend!

A. W put the content on point to execute maintaining, controlling and finishing from the back. He first points out the three spots of back control. Second how to get him to the underhookside if he pressures towards the head or pulls him self downwards or to the opposite of the underhook side. Then he points out how to control the turtle position and bring him back to the underhook back control. RNC series is about how to get to the best possible RNC finish and when and how to transition to other submissions. The recovery covers then your are chest to back while you are half kneeling behind your opponent and the tasks and importance of the two hooks and how to regain them and when and how to use the gift wrap/armbarposition when you lean over on top turtle to get back to to the back. Followed by when and how to use the arm triangle to chase the back and when to chase aand when to pul him into you to get back to the back. His understanding is super deep and his explanations are missing not a single detail. And of course it is always fun to listen to him! Highly recommend!!
Great instructional
Great details for maintaining back especially for short legged dudes.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:amazing instructional
This instructional was very useful and upped by submission rate a lot. Andrew goes over all the common ways people try to escape the back and some nice handfighting strategies to trap your opponents arms.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Back control Andrew Wiltse
Great video. A lot of great info
Simplified and to the point
I feel like this instructional is a beautiful simplification of John Danaher's straight jacket system, with slight modifications that suited Andrew's body type and style of jiu jitsu. I feel like this has been the missing link in my back control, I really love the way Andrew teaches, it just makes it sooo easy to absorb. All in all, I highly recommend this instructional, I feel like dollar for dollar, this is the best instructional I've purchased to date.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Straight forward and great
Andrew knows exactly how to explain what you’ve been trying to mail.

Straight up my back control has got a ton better by watching this instructor.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:DVD is like a RNC: simple, effective but still very deep
Wiltse is one of the most direct and accessible teachers in BJJ, he presents ideas simply and effectively while still teaching concepts that apply everywhere and not just single techniques that apply in one position or moment.
