What is Berimbolo Position in BJJ?
Quick Definition
The inverted position under the opponent during a berimbolo back take attempt.
Full Explanation
The berimbolo position refers to being inverted underneath the opponent during the berimbolo technique, before completing the spin to the back. In this intermediate position, you are on your shoulders with your hooks engaged on the opponent's legs, controlling their pants or ankles. From here you complete the spin to take the back or can attack with other techniques. Understanding this position is essential for both executing and defending the berimbolo.
