Backtakes from Passing – Summer Comp Class Vlog
In this competition class, we focused on refining our backtakes—this time adding a twister hook finish from outside passing. The key idea: get back exposure, then stay connected to the hips and transition to the back.
We kicked things off with basic gymnastics drills to keep building athleticism and coordination, then spent the bulk of the session with positional sparring to sharpen the backtakes.
Even though it’s still summer and the energy is a bit more relaxed, we are still constantly improving. The intensity will ramp up again soon as we get closer to Nogi Europeans—but for now, we’re enjoying the process and laying the foundation.
