Check out Renzo Gracie’s tips for foiling attacks coming from behind. These are extremely simple tips, but they will revolutionize the way you react in a scenario of maximum adversity.
Key points that Renzo stresses:
- Block with both hands accross. You need to block the choking hand with the opposite hand.
- Control with one hand and bridge to place your back and head on the mat.
- Escape your back on the mat and block their knee, foiling their mount attempt.
- Put them in half guard then transition to full guard.
