Back Control — Seatbelt, Arm Trap with the Leg, and Rear Naked Choke

White beltNo-Gi1:08Full lesson

From a seated back control, keep the seatbelt, trap the partner's defending arm with your leg so it cannot fight the choke, win the hand fight, and finish the rear naked choke. The clip teaches it in repeated cycles — a first run-through, a long to-camera explanation with the trap held, and the choke finish.

The breakdown — piece by piece

STEP 1 · 0:00–0:04

Seated seatbelt back control

The instructor sits behind the partner with both hooks in and a seatbelt — one arm over the shoulder, one under the armpit, hands joined in front of the partner's chest. The partner grips the choking arm to defend while the instructor looks at the camera and starts explaining.

STEP 2 · 0:04–0:08

Fall to the side and keep the seatbelt

Still holding the seatbelt and the partner's wrist, the pair tip over onto their sides on the mat. The instructor stays glued to the partner's back, keeps the hooks, and keeps hold of the defending arm instead of letting it come free as they land.

STEP 3 · 0:08–0:16

Trap the defending arm with the leg — first run

Lying on their sides and then rolling, the instructor brings a leg over the partner's defending arm and pins it down while still holding the wrist with both hands. The partner's arm ends up trapped low, away from the neck, before the pair separate and reset.

STEP 4 · 0:16–0:27

Reset and rebuild the seatbelt

They sit back up and the instructor climbs back behind the partner, puts the hooks back in, and rebuilds the same seatbelt. He talks to the camera through this section while controlling the partner's arm across the body.

STEP 5 · 0:27–0:48

The leg trap, held and explained to camera

After another quick reset around 0:32–0:35, the instructor settles in behind the partner with the partner's arm pinned low by his leg draped over it. With the defending arm trapped, his upper body is free — he gestures with two fingers, points to the partner's shoulder and neck, and explains the position directly to camera for an extended stretch while the trap stays on.

STEP 6 · 0:48–0:59

Hand fighting: work the choking arm in

The choking arm slides around the partner's neck. The partner grabs at it to defend, and the instructor works through the hand fight — adjusting the arm, passing his hand across in front of the partner's face, and re-gripping until the arm sits under the chin.

STEP 7 · 0:59–1:08

Rear naked choke finish and release

With the defending arm still trapped by the leg, the instructor locks the rear naked choke — choking arm deep, the other arm reinforcing behind the partner's head. He holds the finished position, gives a final word and gesture to camera, then releases and the pair separate as the clip ends.
