Back Crucifix Back Take and Kimurafix

May 19, 2022 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Another way of catching the back mount here is whenever someone bridges as a means to try to escape. By doing so, they give you an easy back take by simply sliding behind them. You can also force this bridge by rolling your hips away from them.

But another submission option here is to go for the dreadful Kimurafix – a combination of crucifix submission and a Kimura.

Back Crucifix One Arm Choke and Side Triangle

May 18, 2022 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I glossed over the fact that you can snag a very simple one arm choke from the back crucifix. It’s a simple thing to try that doesn’t cost you anything to go for. But, if that fails, we can go to our leg hook. But what if the opponent walks away from you and prevents the leg hook?

That’s when the side triangle kicks in. I like side triangles a lot, as they are like having a front headlock, but using your legs instead of your arms. The triangle itself can be brutal, but you also can lock up a modified Kimura, wrist lock, or a top side Kimura mouse trap.

Back Crucifix Leg Hook to Butt Roll Back Take

May 17, 2022 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

That’s a long name, but we have a few moves going on back to back. Once we establish the back crucifix, we can then move to an even tighter crucifix by using a leg hook. Once that leg hook is in place, the bottom player is in all sorts of problems. It is a very difficult position to escape, as now both their shoulders and hips are locked up.

This is when we can utilize the butt roll to take their back. What is nice about this setup is that the opponent’s arm will be trapped as you take the back, leaving them with little recourse but to tap.

Back Trap Crucifix to Top Crucifix

May 16, 2022 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

From the Back Trap Position, it’s simple to setup a back crucifix. Sometimes, the bottom player will attempt to roll to escape, and put you right into. Other times, you can just force the roll yourself.

Either way, once you have the crucifix, it’s important to stabilize it so you can dish out some punishment. I also cover how to transition to a top side crucifix, for those that don’t want to chance being stuck on bottom.
