Losing Back Mount? Try these Simple Adjustments

Do you ever get to Back Mount in BJJ but then end up losing it and having your opponent come up on top?
This is the question our buddy Armando asked in regards to his Brazilian Jiujitsu training and competitions.
He says that he has been able to get to the back just fine.
But. . .
Once he get's there he loses it. The person is able to escape and what was going to be a great position ended up falling apart.
So in this video I show some tips on how I like to play Back Mount in Brazilian Jiujitsu.
My favorite style of Back Mount is a bit unorthodox.
I call it Half Back as the legs are a half in and half out.
I also, do not play lying back casually where the person can escape easily. Instead I come up to my elbow to press forward.
This creates a nice push forward on both the hips and the back making it very difficult to escape the position.
I also find that this Back Mount variation really makes my Rear Naked Chokes and other submissions more effective.
1 because the position is not typical.
And 2 because I'm able to hide my choking arm.
If you're having a similar situation and you're tired of losing back mount. Try the tips from this video out!

"You're my person Chad" awwwwwwww

[@obsean1234]

Joe Fug is that what he mouthed?

[@chris-vy8fj]

Chad’s facial expressions are gold

[@markhill8150]

I learn so much from these videos. Even things that the video isn't focusing on. Even if I can't execute 9/10th's of it in sparring just by watching it, that's still 1/10th improvement. Thank you.

[@missionkoko]

As always Chewy, thank you. Been here since I was a white belt and still find myself coming back to these fundamentals you uploaded 5 years later.

[@Pacifistrapist]

Chad is so damn entertaining in these videos.

[@sonnydee5135]

In class today I was wondering which was more important to focus on. The hooks or my arms. I'm glad that you answered it within a minute lol

[@marcusdarnell3348]

Thanks chewy I will definitely add this to my game!

[@Algebrodadio]

Dude. This helps me a lot.

[@MrNKagnito]

Great stuff as always chewie

[@sienjong2762]

Wow thank you.

[@ronaldobrito1172]

Let It Go!

[@BitcoinShaun]

Love you guys :-)

[@Markyteekb]

I am usually always the smaller opponent at 5’5 150 and i always use my speed to take the back but i i always lose it lol. These were great tips !

[@MiddleAgedMisfit]

Chad's reaction at 6:13 is mime perfection.

[@willlyons4475]

4:56 are the moments that make you smile in jiu jitsu

[@spearce10]

love the war tribe rashy. similar to one I've got. although that will be thrown to the wayside once the chewy one arrives haha

[@adamcamacho5328]

Hey Chewy! I love your work. I have question. So Im a teenage blue belt and recently a big grown man white belt came to visit the gym. Ive never be afraid to roll with adults because I used to be one of the few kids at my old gym, so I always had to. So this visting white belt as a stripe or two and can identify submission, so I mostly I dominate him with sweeps and overrall control, but a couple of time I lock up the armbar from guard but he locks up his hands and no matter how much I try to use my whole body to stretch out his hands apart, I cant. So I was wondering what do you do when you the armbar from guard locked, but you cant finish it. Thank you, so much! Love your videos!

[@StanleyPinchak]

Adam Camacho if he is stacking you, consider going for a spin under armbar. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoPCqneep5V0r8U And m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4Gcm4R-hNGAp7s Chad has a cool technique to use against stackers. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXi0qKOha5urndk If he is just maintaining good posture, check out these tips on breaking that posture which will weaken him and may give you the chance to break the grip. Pay particular attention to the difference in Uke's posture when the instructor moves his calf from the back of the neck to "chop down" on the back of the head. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaetmGyAbtJsba8 Another alternative is to see if he is exposing himself to a wristlock or other submission in this situation. Sometimes we get so focused on defense of a particular technique that we leave ourselves completely exposed for a different one. Remember, there will be white belts with blackbelt defense against particular attacks, so this means you need black belt attacks, or you need to catch them off guard and sink your technique in before they have the chance to react.

Is there a reason you don’t put the body lock in and then hook the leg when in back mount? Back half is interesting and seems like it allows you to be more mobile in transitions.

[@funkypunkypine]

I think the thumbnail is hot

[@Purple_haired_cleric]

Hi. Is there a video that starts out with how to do the back mount in the first place? I just want to review the steps...

[@TheSkyclark]

What to do when your opponent is on the back mount on top of you, and you are facing the mat, he sprawls his leg hooks on you and you get flattened out, how to escape from that?

[@akpride609]

What about twister?

[@mrarthurtado]

Question: what is best to do as the days get closer to tournament day?

[@BrikBeans]

Mr Art Hurtado taper off your workout the last 10 days before comp and end up doing only like a third of what you do leading up to comp. and try to stay fresh well rested and at your competition weight. stress free 😥🌿🌿

[@jeremymuniz7200]

I have a question should i do BJJ or Catch wrestling? I like BJJ but i feel it focus more on technique while catch wrestling focus more on technique with in strong... so which one should i do? And whats your thoughts on the two styles?

[@karmaakabane2165]

Do both

[@mpforeverunlimited]

How do we submit questions?

[@kevintran3987]

mpforeverunlimited before you submit, you must learn to tap. The submit arrow that is...

[@obsean1234]

What did chad mouth in the beginning?

[@stanley16fttapemeasure38]

🤯🤯🤯

[@ChesapeakeFan]

Awe. I miss Chad. No liabilities:(

[@keepshinein]

wait so should I have my unerhook on the side that is in the air and the over hook on the side that the ground is?

[@itsyaboialex_2494]

you have the over hook on the ground

[@itsyaboialex_2494]

hopefully you been know that

[@amorestperpe]

If you look at my elbow, right here, y'all see I've developed extra toughness from the amount of body I've claimed from this most frequented position of mine.

[@cameronbatschke4756]

Hey Chad, how long do you wait to roll after getting a tat?

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

Cam Bat well... to be honest I wasn’t smart about the one on my wrist. I trained the same day... haha for some of my other tats I waited about 3 days and I left something on to cover it for a week while rolling. Just made sure to shower after to avoid anything nasty.

[@4Oh4P]

6th 😎👌🏽
