The MOST Important Guard Passing Principle

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
  • Hip pinning is one of the two most foundational methods of controlling an opponent in side control. Since we often are fighting our opponents legs before we pass the guard, focusing on pinning the hips first makes the goal so much easier as their leg moblity and movment is significantly restricted, and as we pass our ooponents hips already being on the floor makes the finish and control in side so much easier.

    Concept (or principle) videos are THE most beneficial. Thank you for the content & well put together videos, you're leaving your mark on Jiu Jitsu one video at a time.

      thank you for videos like this. as a white belt, i find it hard to memorize certain techniques but understanding principles allows me to be a bit more successful in sparring.

    I've been looking for this type of content for a long time, and came across your videos randomly. Your teaching style is wonderful. It is hard as a newbie to follow the 1234 steps taught for a very specific position. Instead, learning the principles helps me stay on course as I roll, knowing the mechanics of the positions.

    I loved your comment about how new people have their tailbone on the floor and how it inhibits movement. This is rarely discussed even in the most “basic” video series, even the really good ones.
    I’m a crappy blue belt coming back after a long time and a training partner pointed this out to me.
    This is SO basic and if you could do a whole video on this alone I think that would be incredible. Basically on the shape your body has to be in to move from bottom position on the ground. A training partner called it like a “dreidel”

    I've really been struggling with my partners re-guarding after a successful pass. I knew I was leaving too much space, but I wasn't too sure what exactly I was doing wrong. This video sums it up perfectly. I feel like I should have understood these concepts already, and I think I did, in an abstract way, but this really helped bring the concepts together in a way that I can incorporate them into my game.

    The smartest way to pass guard is actually to stand up and use spinning and dropping passes because you have full body momentum and drop pressure, while it's considered dangerous and unsportsmanlike in Brazilian jiu-jitsu rolling it's definitely the most efficient and explosive way to blast past a Man's legs and also highly entertaining to the crowd which of course makes a big difference in an athletic contest, Kazushi Sakuraba is likely the best example of this guard passing Theory but it will make you unpopular at the strip mall because traditional Brazilian jiu-jitsu butt scooters want you to stick your head between their legs and Scoot so they can get armbars and triangles...😆

    I stumbled upon your vid when I really need it the most, there are days when I reacted too slowly and got into a guard immediately and just spend half of the rolling mins exerting so much energy to get out of it and sometimes I really blanked out and can't recall the right technique to use, but fundamental like this allow me to maybe at least focus on one thing at a time and may allow me to shut down/minimize the danger presented.
