The BJJ Back Attacks Formula

I don't usually write reviews, but I like to support quality products (in hopes that more quality products will follow). This is another high quality (and I think high value) instructional from Grapplearts. Clear and concise information that addresses both the conceptual and technical aspects of the back game, some of which I have been able to put into use right away. Biernacki and Kesting's teaching styles really stick with me. I just bought the Top Game Formula app sight unseen based on my experience with Back Attack.

Rob is a pioneering teacher and is going against BJJ orthodoxy when it is clearly wrong. Great instructional. Update - rolled with two purple belts tonight ( I am intermediate blue ) and took both their backs. Getting to and staying on the back of higher belts on a regular basis. Starting to finish with bow and arrow regularly.

This is just brilliant, I love Rob's instructional style, this had given me so many tips and I've been applying them in my academy and they work! Great job Stephan!

Outstanding instructional for an outstanding price (especially at the early bird pricing). I like the format too as I put all my instructional videos on my tablet anyway.

This is the best instructional bjj app I've ever seen! Everything is so relevant and can be applied to my game immediately.

Best bjj app so far with a great instructor cooperating with the awesome Stephan Kesting. This is my bible.

Nice instruction video, I have bought 6 app from steph, excellent work keep up the good work ;)

This is the best of the best. Concept based approach >>>> loved every minute of it

Revolutionised my game. Definitely worth every cent.

Loved it. Good info and format.

Since i started practicing on the judo mat what's shown in the app, my ground game improved dramatically. I will buy the other ones as soon as they come out.

Concept-base BJJ is the focus of this app. My only qualm is that this is volume 4 and it's released first. There are certain parts of the videos where they reference previous volumes that are not available at the time of this review. That said, I'm not docking any stars because this is exactly what I'm looking for and I will buy the entire set as it's released.

Definitely among the very best tutorials produced by Stephan Kesting in conjunction with other instructors--in this case Rob Biernacki. While some of the techniques are somewhat esoteric, for the most part what he teaches is easily comprehensible and immediately applicable even by an intermediate level practitioner. In this tutorial, Biernacki explains a move and then demonstrates it. Frequently Kesting asks the questions most of us probably have, and some that had not occurred to me, and then Biernacki explains and further demonstrates with variations. The balance between explanation and demonstration is close to perfect. I was confused at first when Biernacki makes reference to the principles on which the moves are predicated making reference to material already discussed in earlier chapters. Eventually, I noticed that this is volume 4. I assume that the other three volumes, and perhaps more, will be released soon. I will definitely be buying them as they come out.

Whether you are a white belt or black belt like myself you should get this app. Tons of useful information broken down into segments under 10 min. I've been lucky to have trained with both Stephan and Rob over the years. These guys are BJJ nerds and in this case it's a good thing. Nothing left out of this app. Can't beat it for this price.

Really good app: lots of little 'aha!' moments to add to a established rear mount.

There is much material on the web teaching the Rear Naked Choke - even on Grapple Arts. BJJ Back Attack Formula teaches you how to get to the back position to enable you to pull off the RNC. This set of videos is very detailed and also teaches how your opponent will defend, how you can defeat their defense and maintain the back position. Highly recommended.

Not just a collection of moves, but the instructions outline the approach to back take and attack.

Completely changed the way I attack the back. Seriously every mistake I had with the position is addressed. It not only has attacks but it also has escapes and transitions. This is the best back attack instructional app on the market today!

Professor Rob Biernacki & Stephan Kesting have produced an excellent instructional that is at the forefront of a key shift from technique to concept based instruction. Yes, there is a plethora of "moves" on display but they are grounded in grappling principles that are continually reinforced throughout. The information within will not only help "higher" belt games that have stagnated or become oversaturated but also instructors in need of clear learning modules. I can't wait for the next installment :)

I was introduced to Robs instruction from a friend who spent time with him and was blown away. I can see it now with this app. I have already begun to use these details to improve what I already knew. Amazing and recommended.

I've come to expect no less from Kesting and company. Dropping price 50% made this a no-brainer purchase.

Absolutely comprehensive and clear, Rob Biernacki’s “BJJ Back Attack Formula” is a must-have for all levels of BJJ practitioner who want to understand both the specific movements and concepts for taking the back, maintaining the position as well as finishing and escaping. This is an exceptional instructional with over three hours of content…an AMAZING deal. I only wish the apps had been released in order because I would LOVE to get the foundational concepts that are referred to in this app. Can’t wait for the rest of the series to be released!!!

Anything Stephan releases is high quality stuff. But unlike other similarly high-quality products in the market, Grapplearts videos are very easily implemented and a superb value. Most products are produced with continuity and allowing you to follow as a chain, rather than piecing things yourself, a valuable benefit for white belts, especially.

Of course the content is absolutely brilliant. As with all these Grapplearts apps though, having to accept the terms and conditions every time you open the thing is a bit annoying. Would it not be possible to have a one time "I accept" button in the settings or something?

Amazingly comprehensive series. I love Prof. Biernacki's style: very methodical, very concept-oriented, and insanely detailed. He works very well with Prof. Kesting, and together they've covered all the bases.

I love that Kesting has started putting more out in app form as they are a great deal and far more convenient than the dvds. That being said, you may not be in a place in your game where you can really utilize his more advanced tutorials. Back mount, however, is a fundamental aspect of the game for everyone. Honestly, this is a purchase you don't even need to think about. Stephan is truly a gifted teacher and this is no exception.

Over 3 hours of amazing content for 10 to 20 bucks. It's a no brainer

I do Judo so the turtle position comes up a LOT. I was able to immediately apply pieces of the instruction to my ground game for Judo and see improvement. Great app and great instruction. Thank you for this!

Guaranteed to modify your game for the better. Guaranteed.

Great instruction , value for money.

Tons of information and great instruction

Rob is a pioneering teacher and is going against BJJ orthodoxy when it is clearly wrong. Great instructional.

Ridiculous value

Solid

So until I get to start watching this tonight, it gets an instant 5star
