Standing Back Control to Takedown Variation to Back Take (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to take the opponent down, when controlling the back from a standing position. Lucas starts by controlling the opponent from the back while standing with a palm to palm grip. He spins his arms to the side so his elbow is running alongside the hip. Lucas now moves to the side and uses his body to take the opponent down. In this variation, the opponent immediately rolls in an attempt to escape or attack the legs. Lucas rolls with the opponent and immediately takes the back locking a body triangle.
