Backmount

Dominant Positions

Back control is the strongest position in grappling: one partner is behind the other, chest to back, with hooks or a body triangle holding them there. It is the only controlling position the bottom partner cannot see, and the only one where the attacker keeps both hands free while the defender has to spend a hand on their own neck. Almost everything from here ends in a choke.
