Modern BJJ: What is the Crab Ride?

BJJ black belt Matt Kwan breaks down the basics of the Crab Ride method of taking the back. More info about 'Modern Jiu-Jitsu at www.grapplearts.com/modern
The Crab Ride is used extensively by top competitors like the Mendes brothers, the Miyao brothers, Mike Musumeci and many more. Not only will you find it a great way of getting to your opponent's back, but it will also help you greatly make sense of scrambles and seeing opportunity in transitions.

[@LukiHatesMexicanGroundKarate]

I'm not sure about Mexican Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but at Argentine Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we use the crab ride all the time to go through the 🍑

[@thomasarmstrong3917]

As a white belt trying to get a basic undersfanding, youre going from crab ride to a position like the truck, and then taking the full hooks back control from the truck?

[@Brandon-ob9rg]

How viable is this position in no gi?

[@joecusick3]

Oh shit other people do crab ride? Only know it from turtle from wrestling that’s my shit. Usually to flatten people out and go ankles closer to their ankles and hips down. Good vid my man

[@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights]

Teach this to Anthony Joshua, he's looking for a new career

[@TheDanielmeeks]

[@samsonmoses7747]

He started in Turtle.... and it took all that work.... to get his back?

[@StephanKesting]

Samson Moses I think you may have misunderstood. Starting in turtle was just a demonstration to show you the position. When you apply the crab ride in real life you’re a pond is typically in use his guard.

[@samsonmoses7747]

Stephan Kesting I was joking... it was just funny seeing crab riding for the first time, wondering where it’s all going to end up... and it turns out he gets your back... I had to rewind my brain to remember where it all started, and I was like, “wait a second, his back was already in the air”.

[@kitman]

lol

[@CrimxSun]

Should've been called "Buttox Ride"

[@ncooty]

Intentionally positioning my head near an opponent's feet never seems like a good idea to me, perhaps because I have no interest in sport BJJ.

[@chcknpie04]

Hot take there

[@gains5732]

Gay?

[@glxblt-sd1ze]

Only if there is eyes catchs

[@Abbassis15]

I know this is just an instructional video, but what the fuck has Jiu jitsu become? these new techniques are just absurd.

[@powerage261]

yes but you have to know it, even if you dont use it, because it exist.
