Half guard top position to the truck?

[Mike Dewitt Jr]

Capoeira pass to "Mendes Brothers/ Cyborg Abreu" Back take, to the truck possibility. As the roll is completed it looks as if you can continue to control far ankle switch to the grapevine into the truck.



I have used this in training to take the back but not to the truck. The back take is obviously legit with these names drilling it...right?

Good shit.

I actually do this one, the hard part (for me) is coming up high enough to properly take the back. I usually come out of it low, with one leg hook, and double unders. Then I feel like I'm climbing a land mine field as I try to secure the over under before they can spin into me.

Also, I once didn't dig my leg hook in deep enough on the setup and when I rolled I popped my knee. No injury, but I definitely felt weird knee pressure during the move. It's a great transition though. I chain it off of a failed marcelo pass when my ankle gets stuck in quarter guard and I abandon the knee cut pass and kick my leg back with a capoeira pass. Rather than fighting to get my ankle free I just grab their foot, shove my leg in deeper, and then roll across them for the transition. It's way easier than it looks.
