About the Back Trap System

Most back-control instruction starts the same way: get your hooks in. But hooks mean climbing onto the back, carrying your opponent's weight, and constantly defending against the roll. The Back Trap System flips that on its head — a wrestling-based way to pin and finish from the back without hooks, staying on top and in control the whole time.

It's the same core idea behind David Avellan's world-famous Kimura Trap System: use grips and pins, not positions that can be reversed. The result is back control that holds up under real resistance — in competition, in MMA, and in self-defense, where being able to disengage safely matters.
