from start
opponent standing, trying to pass guard
guy standing- your objective-
try to get hooks under armpits
leg hooks at knees
pull them to you (they base out on all fours or sit)
setups
when you try to pull opponent to guard, they pull back and start moving
must follow opponent, can't just stay where you're at
hand posted, other hand defending (butt scoot)while looking to engage opponent
look for legs, underhooks under armpits
leg that is posted is helping you move- drag self with heel
once you engage
opponent distracts you- pushes your head with hand
look for underhooks and hooks!
forget about the hands on your head
keep coming forward looking for what you want
distractions= throw you off your game
get close to opponent
dig hands under armpits, get butterfly hooks
look for sweep, submission--> advance jiu jitsu
bigger opponents- putting hands in face, moving well, throwing you off your game
don't fall into that trap
you're smaller- fight your game, not their game
keep focused on what you want to achieve- control the situation
more distractions
they push on head and shoulders
STILL looking for what you want
hands on shoulders- trying to push you down on the mat= don't let it happen
hands on shoulders- slip hands up, pummel inside
if they try to come on top, get underhooks and butterfly hooks
they are trying to get your back on mat- establish your control
they will always drop weight down- won't just fight one leg, arm at a time
very important- when you fight, don't let them stay a step ahead of you
stay with opponent whereever they go
not always easy- must work through it
don't want to be lost or distracted from game
your jiu jitsu- always moving forwards, concentrating on moving forward, being a step ahead
more...
distractions aren't working
they start lifting your legs- try to put your back on mat
they lift your hips off mat
can't let them establish anything
fence hands out- smack them off
immediately smack hands off, put hooks in
they pull upper body out- you keep following through
they closer you get, the better for you
motion- they grab ankles
you break and control wrists, shoot for underhooks
more...
hooks at legs, hands on thighs
they prevent underhooks with shoulder stiffarms
keep bf hooks, keep ahold of thighs, keep in range
they back up and try to get out of range- you lower legs to stop heels, and then lift back to behind knees once they stop pulling back
when you smack the hands off shoulders, it takes support off- they are dropping weight on you
another distraction and counter
pushing of shoulders and head is not doing anything- you are getting to them
they hold ankles, put weight down- pin legs and feet so they can't move
you'll be in trouble if you stay here long
fence hands- from outside or inside- from top is best, in position to get underhooks
break grips and control underhooks
get bf hooks
puts weight down and starts moving to one side
go to opposite side arm- trap wrist, armdrag
hooks on legs- help you go to back or just sweep
arm drag option- break grips forwards open fingers
go to back! sweep!
hooks always follow the legs-FUNDAMENTAL
cartwheel defense
they try to cartwheel!
be ready for the unpredictable
hand in front of face- delay what they are trying so you can follow up with defense
they cartwheel and try to take back- tuck head and roll forward, hooks in
if the chest touches upper back, no good
setting the x-guard
hold on to opponent as they try to pull back
hands to back of thighs
get one hand diagonally across
other hand posts, you move hips closer to opponent (like a leg drag)
hook with arm (get secure first, adjust in a second)
get cross hooks- x guard beginnings
they try to keep moving- you must get them off balance, break the balance
if they move around, they will get away
hand grabbing leg- bring knee to shoulder while lifting other leg off ground
spread his weight out, he is off balance
push him out- lots of options
the sweep
they escape underhooks
you establish x-guard control
leg on shoulder- break balance
they respond- drive knee on shoulder- put all weight down on that side
if you wait too long, you will lose this position
take off your front hook- plant on floor behind him
lift up hook and hold ankle (lift off floor!)- help to sweep him
sit up, lift knee and push out (tension like spider guard)
swing back leg to get momentum to sit up
main difficulty- can't use hands to support you to sit up- use leg as pendulum
another variation
underhooks and bf hooks
opponent pulls back
diagonally across
x guard posture
opponent counters with knee down
sweep or lose position!
opponent is basing out properly, you can't sweep with pendulum
lift hook
add second hook
now two legs on one
must use momentum of legs to help get up
lift opponent towards you and then go forward- use momentum to take in other direction
same position, learning control
from x-guard posture
opponent has good balanced, stays with you
make sure leg doesn't stay still- always lifting in different ways- always off balance
he puts weight down on one leg? disrupt balance on other leg. back and forth
make him work
always maintain control of situation
more control
from x-guard
opponent bases out, tries to push hooks off
they will escape if you don't do anything
either drive leg forward or backwards
counter with opposite of what they do.
drive lower part of leg forward, upset balance
always be attuned to what opponent is doing
sweep variation
from x-guard posture
open hooks to disrupt balance
they drop hands on ground
you do what is most easy
leg on shoulder OFF ground
grab close hand, tuck in, lift hips, make them come over that shoulder that you control
land in opponent's guard ready to pass
variation of sweep
when you go for hand, they pull it out and hide it
can't wait too long or they stand up and you have to go over again
go for other hand immediately!
pull far hand towards head
lift far leg up, extend hips out, take them over
land in side control
another variation
from x-guard posture
disrupt balance, go for close hand, far hand
they counter and take both hands out, stand
they post hands all the way out- towards your feet so you can't grab
all weight is towards upper body- leg is light
take hooks out, stand up
ankle pick posted leg
pass the guard
anything they did, you always have a response- no matter what direction they move in
