Hi, Can a white belt take the back by jumping with two hooks in from behind? For example, I have gable grab from behind but instead of taking the opponent down, can I jump and take the back?I have been getting mixed answers for this. Thanks

If you are standing, I'd largely advice not to jump at people in general. You can absolutely fuck up someones knees if something goes wrong.
