How to shut down and pass the Single Leg X Guard even if he’s trying to leglock you and take your opponent’s back. By Stephan Kesting, from https://www.grapplearts.com/rollingbacktakes

This technique from the Rolling Backtakes for Everyone instructional (https://www.grapplearts.com/rollingbacktakes) is one of my very favorite ways to do just that, and if I can do it as a 54-year-old man with a hip replacement, then you can do it too!
