Marcelo Garcia Taking The BackFiled Under: Instruction
Marcelo Garcia is my grappling idol. If you don’t already know, Marcelo is amazing at taking the back and submitting guys. With most guys you’ve got a fighting chance if they get the back, you’ve got maybe 30-50% of pulling out of it depending – but with Marcelo, it’s like 10%.
Here’s three videos of Garcia rolling around with some guys after a seminar. Take a look at how easily he goes to the back – I’ll be posting about it in detail in the future. In two cases, he does this step-over move, swinging his leg. The other time he goes to the back when the other guy is trying a hands on hip/ shrimping escape.
Of course, he instantaneously goes to a choke, too.

Oh yes, he also produced a kick butt DVD series with tons of awesome material about taking the back.
