Here's a breakdown of the Rolling Anaconda to Back Take technique:
- Start with a rolling guillotine anaconda, driving your partner to the other side and initiating a rolling motion.
- If you're unable to trap the elbow by throwing your leg over, and your partner puts both shoulders on the mat, it becomes nearly impossible to maintain control.
- As you feel your control slipping, hit a bridging motion and roll to your knees.
- When your partner hides their right elbow, bridge in their direction and roll them to their knees, transitioning to a front headlock.
- Immediately block behind their elbow with your knee and start your sequence to take their back.
- Switch your knees from one knee down, one knee up, while holding the chin and opening them up for your left hand to get an underhook on the far side.
- Once you have the underhook, pull with the chin, secure a seatbelt grip, and prepare to take the back.
- Use your knee to block the elbow, start to tilt them and roll them through, getting your hooks inside and securing the back position.
- If you can't trap their arm with your knee, bridge them in the other direction, place your feet on the mat and turn.
- Immediately bring your knee behind their elbow and switch the position of your legs.
- Find the underhook on the far side. If they hide their arm, keep your left hand inside to create the space to find the underhook.
- Once you have the underhook, secure a seatbelt grip, use your knee to block the elbow, and drive your shoulder into the back of their head to turn them and secure the back position.
