Jacare guard pass

Jacare guard pass



He does this one quite a bit. There's a lot of elements to this pass that are similar to Saulo's "negative x-pass."

The grips are different, though. The opponent has a cross sleeve grip, and Jacare re-grips the collar on that side. With his free hand, he controls the knee on the side he is going to pass to (side with opponent's arm occupied with your sleeve grip).

On second viewing, I realize that the grip is almost the same as Saulo's x-pass grip. Hand #1 grips the lapel on the opposite side collar (rather than the same side collar), and hand #2 grips the opponent's knee on the same side (rather than near the foot). After I learn the x-pass decently, I'd like to master this one as well.

---------------------------------------

From the first section of the video- Jacare passing-
If the opponent has normal open guard with their leg outside yours, you post up on your leg, shift your hips and push the knee down, jump over the knee, shift your hips once you pass, and prevent opponent from turning by pressuring with the collar grip/your body.

From the second section of the video- Jacare on bottom-
If the opponent has de la riva guard with outside and inside hook control, you post the leg (pointing your toe out) and drop your knee underneath their knee line and then follow through with the other foot.

Jacare standup

preliminary thoughts-

-his main grip- sleeve and back of collar grip. he uses it to snap them down, set up ankle picks, or do flying triangles. main attitude- aggressive and dominant.

-he'll break grips quickly and then re-grip for dominant position.

-if he gets shot on, he likes to sprawl hard and try and take the back

Jacare- No Gi kimura

I was watching the ADCC 2005 77-88kg dvd, and noticed that Jacare's first option submission was the kimura. He goes for it from half guard and uses it to pass to side control, where he finishes the kimura in his first match. He goes for it a few more times in subsequent matches, but I think he only finishes it in that first match.

The move has been on my mind for a few months now. I was explained the importance of low-risk, high percentage moves, and the kimura fits right in there. If you miss the kimura, you don't really give up position. Plus, you can get back in position for it relatively easily. This is unlike a straight arm lock from the top, which could possibly end up with you on your back if you miss it!

From the top game, this is the perfect submission.

The kimura also offers sweeping options and control points. Because it's such a secure grip, it actually gives you a handle in no gi. By controlling and isolating that arm, you are already preventing an opponent from escaping. Your weight and base is still well-distributed, so you aren't really in danger of being reversed if you have it on properly. They can't really bridge well with one arm taken away, and they might be applying pressure onto the shoulder by trying to escape! Furthermore, it's a great counter to many of the escapes that involve coming onto the side, turning to the knees, and extending the arms to try and shrimp away. I've used kimura grips before to control an opponent, take the back, flow into other submissions, etc.

Also, it's mentally dominating. Once you get to the point of causing an opponent to tap to a kimura, you have pretty much already punished them from the top with pressure, tired them out by shutting down escape attempts, and placed them in a submission where they can no longer move ANYWHERE. That gives you a mental edge, for sure.

I'm definitely going to learn everything I can about this submission.

Jacare style toriani

from leg control- plant opponent's feet on ground.

point elbows in same direction and walk around opponent's legs.

when you get in range, plant knee near hip (blocking half guard) and base foot far up (VERY IMPORTANT) near plane of head. you're still controlling legs/pushing them away.

use shoulder/head to drive into their stomach/abdomen/chest area. need to figure out where exactly. too high will get you reversed, too low may get you pushed through the legs for a reverse triangle. goal is to flatten them. they are trying to sit up into you normally.

switch grips so you control closer leg at ankle and sechre up to a strong crossface with the other arm.

learning this pass will open up a lot of doors. important things such as base when passing, pressure with head/shoulder at right points, and preventing getting reversed will all be a little better once this pass is mastered.
