With Chris 'Bones' Burns · Trained under Rickson Gracie · 3rd Degree Black Belt
Achieve total control over your opponents with this comprehensive Back Control Masterclass. Across 65 detailed video lessons, you'll learn the fundamental concepts, advanced tactics, and fight-tested techniques to utterly dominate from back control.
The secret to back control
At any age, any belt, against any size. 60 lessons across 9 sections — principle-based control that holds without strength or flexibility. Drill the connection tonight, feel the difference at your very next roll.
The secret you'll learn in this course is connection: the ability to stay glued to your partner's back no matter how they turn, bridge or scramble. Whatever they do next only tightens your control.
You'll learn to keep the back using structure and weight instead of strength, grip and speed — and go from losing the back in seconds to owning the most dominant position in Jiu-Jitsu.
Why keeping the back sucks
- You don't know how to catch the back

- They get their back to the floor
- You burn out your arms
Why Back Control Deep Dive
- Learn to get their back
- Apply connection, not strength
- Make their escape impossible

- Own the back

Taking the back feels great until you lose it. You sink the hooks, wrap the seatbelt, and three seconds later they've turned in and you're defending. You chase the finish and the position falls apart.
But it doesn't need to be that way. You can keep it.
Here's a sneak peek
These lessons give you a good idea of the Deep Dive.
From Module 1
Invisible Back Control Chest Connection
Learn the subtle chest connection that makes your back control nearly impossible to escape. This fundamental concept creates an invisible grip your partner won't even realise is there until it's too late.
From Module 2
Rear Naked Choke that works every time
Discover the mechanical adjustments that make your rear naked choke virtually unstoppable. No more struggling with hand positioning or losing the choke when your partner defends.
Three things that stop you owning the back
Taking the back isn't the hard part. Keeping it is — and these are the reasons it slips away.
Problem 01
“I take the back, then lose it in seconds”
You sink the hooks and wrap the seatbelt, but three seconds later they've turned in and now you're the one defending. The position feels great right up until it evaporates.
The fix
Learn connection instead of grip. Structure and weight keep you glued through the turn, the bridge and the scramble — so whatever they do next only tightens your control.
Problem 02
“I burn out my arms holding on”
You're squeezing the seatbelt for dear life, your forearms are pumped after 30 seconds, and by the time you go for the choke you've got nothing left.
The fix
If it needs strength or flexibility, it isn't in this course. You'll hold the back with skeletal structure and weight placement, which costs almost nothing to maintain.
Problem 03
“I chase the finish and the position falls apart”
The moment you reach for the choke, your control loosens and they escape out the back door. Control and submission feel like a trade-off.
The fix
Control comes before the finish. You'll learn to submit without ever giving up the position — and if you're not sure where back control sits among your weaknesses, the Journey Score will tell you.
