Leo Vieira- guard passes (from seminar dvd)

tips-
-passing this style requires two things- opponent's back on the mat and distance between you and him.
-control at inside shin grip- makes it harder to hook your arm for spider guard

toriani variant-
pressure with body weight on shins- fold opponent up and walk around legs (as opposed to straightening legs and going explosively.

torani variant 2-
shoulder and leg control, push shoulder on mat, pick up leg as you walk around

101 pass-
use grip on shoulder area- stiffarm to put back on mat as you pick up other elbow to flatten opponent. patience with this pass- if you do quickly, you can be swept during window where you are off-balance. you can sit and stabilize and then pass once it's clear.

double underpass-
grip with one arm across to opposite lapel (low, at hip) and other hand on back of pants to keep them up. tight elbows. stack them up, lifting hips off the ground, make them knee themselves in the face.

-defense vs. hand in hip-use knee to take arm out- either over or under the arm.


side control- use knee in hip, elbow to hold sleeve (controlling both sides of hips)

be aware of escape options.

defense to them pushing you up- elbow in, knee on stomach, block the guard replace. they try to shrimp out, slide back to side control.

defense to them rolling away from you- let them roll a bit, lock up ezekiel, knee to head, roll them on to you and finish the choke. (also looks like an arm triangle is there)

No Gi.

pummeling-
hold shoulder, not back- harder to pummel inside. also opens up attacks if you bring the arm high.

move- they pummel, you step back, put thumb inside and drive elbow down while twisting body. lock up harness over arm and change levels.

arm drag-

can't shoot if the hands block you. you can hold the hand. leo holds it pistol style, with your thumb facing you. twist arm to expose elbow and arm drag! step inside and take the leg or step around and take the back.

high-c-
they control wrist, you fake escape inside with arm and then open up high, bringing elbow to sky. step outside leg and shoot the high-c. can take the leg or pivot off knee and the back.


shooting principles-
grab leg and around back- harder to sprawl on you.

double leg option- hook leg and drive with opposite shoulder. you don't have to pick them up if you do this.


from back, no hooks-

trip with inside leg- big circle. can also hold leg and hip. keep chest on one side. lock up harness, get hooks.

need to have their leg between yours- get them to load more on that leg.

no gi pass-

from outside of leg- shoot arm in and lock gable grip. shin across your chest- pass like normal.

they shoot free leg across- shoot your arm across (that isn't holding leg) and over their head, pass.

sit up open guard-
hold ankles, put back on floor
they come back- drive knee through and down- but not foot (their legs are scissored). chest down. control armpits and then control underhook/crossface to pass.


defense to back harness (around hips)-
get space and hook outside hip, spin to guard.

guillotine-front head and arm control from turtle-
shoulder behind neck and hold chin to control. tighten elbows, weight down on shoulder and back of head.
