If you can do a forward somersault then you can do a rolling backtake. https://www.grapplearts.com/rollingbacktakes

One of the main defenses to the berimbolo off balance is to back step the leg high. If you grab your opponents leg when they back step you can easily knock them over and this sets up the berimbolo.

The Leg Drag is one of the strongest positions in Jiu Jitsu, but when you combine it with the back take threat it becomes almost unstoppable.

This video Espen Mathiesen shows a powerful back taking systems where you roll through from the top to an X Hook back take. You can use this from Lasso, Omoplata, Stacks, Leg Drags, and even lapel guard.

This video I overview the key aspects of a strong side control. I focus primarily on the key principle of using your chest weight to pin your opponents shoulders to the mat. Not only does this have a huge effect in side control but in all pinning positions in general strong chest pressure is so powerful.

This is a really simple attack series and a great intro to the Key Master Hook. Their are many different ways to use the key master hook, but this series is based off starting from collar sleeve which is a common position and on my opinion the simplest way to set the position up. I go over a combo with the Triangle Choke, Ankle Lock, and Matrix set up that is very easy to combine. If you like the video please comment and let me know your questions.
