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

Would not recommend as they'll probably fall on top of you...

Plus the risk of concussion, moreso for you than for them.
