While taking the back presents a number of opportunities for chokes in BJJ, this position also leaves room for other submissions, like the armbar. Transitioning to an armbar from the back while rolling can catch your opponents by surprise and leave them with no room to escape if you do it properly.
Here, ZombieProof BJJ’s Kent Peters demonstrates an armbar from the back while also promoting great parenting in his latest jiu-jitsu technique video. This is a great fundamental technique for kids and adults alike, so make sure you try it out and pass it on to any other grapplers who could benefit from this submission!
