Closed guard is one of the most powerful positions in Jiu-Jitsu — but many grapplers struggle to turn it into truly dominant finishes.

In Take the Back from Closed Guard, Paul Schreiner reveals a complete system for turning your closed guard into one of the most dangerous back-attack platforms in grappling.
Instead of relying only on sweeps or submissions, you’ll learn how to force reactions, break posture, and create openings that lead directly to back control — one of the most dominant positions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Paul breaks down the details that make back takes work consistently, including grip control, angle creation, hip movement, and timing. Each technique builds on the last so you can develop a smooth system that flows naturally during live rolling.
