Not bad
Not much I don’t already no, was ok
Awesome
I already knew Giancarlo was good but his recent performances at ADCC 2022 just blew up his stock, definitely an underpriced gem right here.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Excellent back control instructional!
Excellent back control instructional! The most dominant position in competition. Giancarlo Bodoni teaches essential maintenance, retention, trapping, grip fighting, and finishing techniques. Includes high percentage finishes, such as rear ***** choke and bow and arrow choke. Will increase your finishing rate while rolling

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Must have for Back Control
Giancarlo does a great Job, step by step, first controlling, retaining and submitting. He is a very good teacher, he explains clearly and with detail all core points of each possition.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:A step above the others.
There are a lot of Back Control dvds out there but this one stands out above the rest as it is both comprehensive in width and also includes a host of small details and tips that are super efficient in managing Back Control. It addresses well both weak and strong sides and how to transition from one to the the other in order to prevent different stages of opponent escape and also at the same time to set up your submissions options.

Learn to control and finish from the back on both sides!
One of the things that you are taught early on in jiu jitsu is that there is a “strong” side and a “weak” side when attacking the back. When I find myself on the weak side, I often bail on the back and come up on top, usually in a knee on belly or sometimes half guard, because I believed that my opponent had the better escaping position. Giancarlo Bodoni shows you that this isn’t necessarily the case, and he shows you how to control and attack from both sides. This DVD really rounded out my back control and back attack techniques. Thank you Giancarlo!
