Executing a back take when an opponent is prepared for a berimbolo:

  1. Initiate the berimbolo, placing your knee and hand on the mat, but only secure the tricep instead of the arm due to the opponent's defensive posture.
  2. Work the pass by bringing your buttocks to the mat, keeping the opponent's hips pinned to prevent them from turning away and recovering guard.
  3. Grab the back of the opponent's collar and their lapel to control their movement and prepare for a back take.
  4. Anticipate the opponent's attempt to turn away and use this momentum to switch your hips and follow through.
  5. As the opponent turns, attach your knee to their hip and slide your bottom hook in.
  6. Pull the opponent back to you, securing the hand over for a seatbelt grip with the arm under their arm, and then establish the top hook.
  7. Maintain a light weight distribution, keeping your shin in contact with the opponent's hip without applying pressure, to disguise your intention for the back take.
  8. As the opponent attempts to turn again, use your elbow to balance your weight, pull them back into you, and glue your chest to their back.
  9. Secure the seatbelt grip, lock it in with the underhook, and then place the second hook to complete the back take.
