About this video
Executing a back take during a Toreando pass involves a dynamic transition that requires precise timing and fluidity. Begin by establishing the same grips used in the smash pass. As you initiate the Toreando pass to the right, identify an opening near your opponent's hip.
- While maintaining your grips, prepare to dive into the Toreando pass.
- As you notice the opening, hook your left leg around your opponent's hip.
- Simultaneously, drop your knee towards their body to initiate the roll.
- Execute a fluid and explosive movement to roll over your opponent's body, landing in a position to take their back.
This technique requires a combination of speed and timing to successfully hook and roll into the back take position. It is challenging to perform slowly, so focus on the fluidity of the movement to secure the back control.
