I think that one of the most important details is that during the grip fighting Jordan is frequently "climbing" up the back. If you go from the seated back take position and then just fall on your side (which is how a lot of positional rolling drills start) your head will be almost level with theirs, your chin will sit on their shoulder. But if you look at Jordan's position during the arm traps and finishes, he has a much higher body position where his chin would almost sit on the top of his opponents head, he then crunches up to lower his head and hide the choking hand. This higher hip position is what allows him (with short legs) to be able to trap the arm so easily. I say this because as someone also with short legs, I had a very difficult time trapping arms until I started climbing up the back and getting to a similar hip and chest position as Jordan has here.

06:22 "Sometimes it will take multiple attempts to penetrate, just be patient"...I think we've all been there!

Unreal; was just working on back control this morning and thinking I wish Jordan would do a video breakdown. Your Kimura Trap and Dogfight videos have already changed my game. Thank you man!

[garybolenable]

Thanks so much for explaining why crossing the feet is okay above the hips as opposed to below the hips. I've always only heard that I wasn't supposed to cross my feet when I had my opponent's back because of the potential ankle lock.

[MrNbkelly]

Man, your teaching and videos examples are insane. Thank you for your time!

[kimsamson]

This is amazing. The details. The best coach out there.

[darrenhughes]

Thanks Jordan. Was researching this recently as I was struggling with the Back Position. Your videos are excellent keep them coming.

[daxfit]

Really helpful vid, Jordan. Extremely thorough explanation of a versatile technique.

[Marco-lfsy]

Hey Jordan, I really enjoy your content as it gives insights into the thoughts of a black belt in a pleasant and very professional way. Thank you!

I would love to see videos or a series that teach "what you need to know about Under Back/Under Side Control/..." - the most important things to pay attention to being in these positions. In general, I would be happy to see a bit more defensive content, as this is what beginners need when they start training.

A huge fan of your work.

Excellent video! I'm grateful for all the work you put into these. Great description of the position, including the "basics" (I still always learn new things). Now to review some of your other content to improve at getting to the back in the first place. Thank-you very much and please keep them coming!🤛

Brad’s face in the thumbnail is what drew me in.

I’ve been trying to figure out this straight jacket thing for a while which no success…
This was very helpful, thanks!!

[jolpool]

These are my favourite kind of videos from Jordan, the ones with the systems. So much added value to my game ❤. Thanks Jordan! I am grateful for your content 🙏

Amazing breakdowwn, can't wait for the addition to your course!!!

[Soulful_Oatmilk]

👊 Love the straitjacket.

Something I started to do against bigger guys or even just physically stronger opponents who can still fight my choking hand with one arm is lock a gable grip with my non choking hand behind their shoulder and "tighten the noose" with that variation, crushing their fingers, then slide my non choking hand back up for the figure four. Definitely something I was missing in my RNC if my timing is a little off for shooting my hand through.

Nice!

[alexlloyd]

Man - this video is above and beyond. soon as i get caught up on my credit card debt i'm buying your course. top notch content. A++++
