The reviews
Very comprehensive
Detailed and clear explanations of many techniques to control and attack from the back.
Strong fundamentals
As the title of the instructional says, it really foundational stuff. Great value for someone looking to understand back control and submissions in the GI.
Good
Most underrated instructional on this website
I got this dvd on daily deal, or perhaps even free (I cant remember) many moons ago when I was a whitebelt. I practiced it with my brother a few times and was instantly hitting on white belts and higher. Even with danager and gordon in my collection, I still refer to this when I want a quick recap on attacking the back (Having watched both gordon and danaher i can confirm many of the techniques/concepts marry up) Ante is a great teacher. Highly recommend

This was a surprisingly amazing instructional. And does a brilliant job of breaking down the back position into easy to understand systems that keep you in control. So glad I watched this diamond in the rough instructional, definitely recommend!

The foundation of back control
excellent instruction. loved the different modules on types of back control and submissions to go along with them
Incredibly Thorough
Excellent. Ante goes the extra mile and troubleshoots some of the "problems" your likely to encounter when facing a resisting opponent from the back. He's got it all covered, here. This series also works as a great reference if you get stuck during an open mat.

Very in-depth explanation of back control
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Impressive!
I didn't have much knowledge of Ante Dzolic before watching this instructional. But I was truly impressed with his teaching skills and thoroughness of this product. He goes over a lot, and teaches very well. Everything is laid out nicely so you can go back and review a part that you need more help on.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Lots of great content!
Great down to earth personality breaks down lots of options from the back.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great!
taught me a few additional details not covered by my teacher and improved my game
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗3/5
teaches a lot of good moves but does not really explain the position in a system like John Danaher. Good content but I think others are much better.
Back control
Very good, comprehensive instructional that is well explained and clearly communicated. If you take time to get through all the moves, it will definitely help your back taking, controlling and finishing skills. This has helped me get better at lapel chokes which used to be a weak area of mine.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Fantastic
I always struggled with the retention of my back control. This video gave me a couple of good moves to help me retain my back control. Amazing!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Fantastic instructional
Fantastic instructional that is surprisingly easy to implement, and incredibly effective.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome
very good instructional
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻A whole back control system
Professor Ante Dzolic provides a whole back control system including chair sit back takes, turtle break downs and back takes as well as regaining back position and submission attacks. His teaching is straight to the point and he builds up his teaching via technique follow ups and variations. He always refers to related techniques so that you can catch the connectivity in between them with in a sub-system as well as well as in between the certain systems e.g. lower body crucifix and leg harness. Overall he is such a exceptionally gifted teacher! Highy recommend!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🔥Very detailed & well organized instructional!

Great resource on attacking the back
As someone that hasn't developed a system to attacking the back I found this instructional extremely helpful. I knew different types of chokes/submissions from the back before, but I didn't have a system or a reason to use say a bow and arrow choke instead of a RNC. This instructional breaks it all down when and why to use one over the other. Lots of trouble shooting, solutions to everything your opponent might do to counter and every position I could think of covered. Highly recommend
