fundamentals
different- no gi, less grips
make sure to lock the space and lock them on the ground before you go for the pass
why not to pass from the ground
passing from the ground- not as good
you give too many weapons to them
fighting too much against his legs
easy for them to scoot back
saulo- keep hips as close as you can to them
whoever starts the game first has the advantage
opening the guard
in closed guard, you are in a bad spot
they have too much leverage
block armpits before opening
hop up in one jump
hips forward, knees squeeze to break closed guard
don't use hands to do it
keep hips forward, don't move back or you start over
they need to wrap a leg, control your body to stop you from opening
common things- fighting double underhooks
they get double underhooks
don't push with forearms- they can scoop hips and create space
don't sit back/up, they have too much control
put weight down, jump up
changes angle- they can't scoop hips or keep tight
note- can't keep elbows up, must rotate hands and point fingers away from him
don't come up until you break the grip
control the legs- bottom of ankles
more common things- fighting an overhook
they get overhook on one side
don't pull- you expose the arm to many attacks!
your hips can not move over his hips
you have to be tight
step leg on same side as trapped arm
force leg on elbow (so it can't move down, create a wedge), create space for arm to get out
go UNDER the underhook- weave it through- sort of like you are kimura'ing yourself
posture issues
two ways to stay in closed guard
they aren't doing anything- you can take your time
they start to attack, get active- gotta control arms
go down and get your low posture
every time they scoop the hips, you re-scoop and adjust
every time they come up- use your head to drive them down
head is an important weapon
elbows always inside! otherwise bad things can happen
passing the guard- moving to butterfly
when you get the right spot, you can move to the ground
look for ankles
don't hold far away
grab ankles and RIGHT AWAY, drop weight and go to butterfly
get them flat on their back
keep underhooks, pinch knees/elbows
they will push legs to try and escape
you lift hips! tripod up. shift weight to torso, light on legs
if you stay tight, they WILL get out from this position
from the top- keep the weight on! otherwise they can move out
every time they scoop hips, you adjust
they always have to carry your weight!
more bf passing
once you open, close in again
commit to the pass!
control ankles, get to bf guard
they will move back, you follow and pinch elbows/knees
if they open legs on own, you drive ankles down and go to bf guard
if their legs are up, smash legs down
float on shins, move to bf guard eventually
don't give space between your hips and their body
more details- sweep counter
depends on how they react when you put weight down
flexibile with the passes
most common- they overhook, try to push you to the side
you TURN the direction of your hips to where the sweep is headed (kill the leg)- but don't go to half guard
switch hips to other side as soon as you feel on the verge of half guard- use hand to help get over knee
detail- as soon as you get over the knee, drop knee down to hip, switch your hips, complete pass
can't let them lift you too much- keep hips lower
variation- star guard pass
you are getting swept in bf guard
plant head on ground, hand stays on knee- keep weight up
lift up and over knees, reverse direction and star guard pass- all weight goes on shoulder, head stays on ground
detail- underhook hand switches to block hips- you can't star guard pass with it where it used to be
sweep counter to mount
from bf guard pass
they start to sweep- you plant leg and base out
you switch hips, drive knee through- sometimes you let them go further into the sweep to create space to drive your knee through
their legs are scissored up now
grab crossface/underhook harness
use other knee- switch hips and go to his hip, move up to full mount
sitting butterfly guard
common reaction- pushing the chest with arms
not so good, you can get armdragged easily
you hold over the knees
wait for them to sit up
use head to drive them back, pull elbows back and tight, hips back a bit
break position before it happens
if they get arm- don't pull back, you give the right reflex to get armdragged still!
passing from sitting up bf guard- guillotine pass
stop them from sitting up with your head- they still come p
let them come up, neck tie them
switch to guillotine grip with opposite arm arm- around to chin
move back to get out of hooking range
use other hand to block legs
reaction-they move hips, you push the head down
walk around legs
keep grip until you get to the side
passing from double underhooked bf
common mistake- trying to come up to pummel inside
easy for them to sweep! either backwards or forwards- your base is no good when you're high from here
don't back up either!
change direction of your hips, sit a bit on the side- no longer squared up
hand can plant to base a bit
extend the leg, drive the knee to his knee
wrap an overhook, switch hips, step around and pass
cleaning up a common mistake- block leg with knee- inside- make sure it's blocked
returning to standing- 101 pass
they are about to wrap up sitting bf, you disengage
don't approach with hands! you'll get armdragged
in one move- step between legs
elbow/knee together w/underhook- deep underhook!
SIT, stay low- don't come high
hand blocks knee
force knee on his chest, cross, lock up underhook/crossface
don't push back- just drive knee to the side
take advantage of him not being ready- catch them off guard
another option from standing- shoulder plant pass
elbow/knees together, get underhook
they scoop hips to block knee
hand weaves in to block leg, walk it up- must open the leg- takes away leverage- don't CARRY leg- just put on ground and push back
move head to other side
back step over leg, complete the pass
detail- get them flat, knee comes over before you start to pass-don't do it all at once or your base isn't as good
fighting open guard- you can only get one side
they are weaving the legs and preventing you from doing much
ideally- you get to bf guard, but if you can't, you go here
wait for them to open the leg
come in with your leg, drive with pressure
don't drive in the middle, drive to the SIDE
come to ground, put elbow/knee together, keep LOW
they scoop hips away from you, you GO- gives you momentum to come around
if you come straight in while squared up- they start going de la riva, etc
not just using your leg, using all your body weight
leg on shoulder variation
people spend too much energy and start to carry someone with this pass
good detail- swing hand through, drive other arm, kick leg out, get to position
get as close to them as possible- stay tight- go deep so you don't get triangled
lift leg, make lock on leg- just over one leg- keep lock so you don't get triangled- outside arm comes all the way around
step up knee (join to elbow)
sprawl back- use shoulder to drive leg
wrap up over head- hook over
when you put weight on them, they can roll easily
they kick, create space, and roll out
