This week at Cia Paulista El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu we focused on different possibilities from the Open Guard. Sometimes it is easy to feel out of control in the Open Guard because you do not have your partner locked tight inside your guard. However, the same is true for your partner. The fact that there is a lot of space for things to move means both you are able to do move and use vast array of different attacks. Keep this in mind as you train and develop your Open Guard.
Review: From the feet
- Over-under hip throw
- Far hip control & wrist control to the hip throw
Passing the Guard
Stand up to break/open the guard (watch your balance, use your grips)
1) Go into them to pass the guard
2) Go back the other way, duck under the leg
3) Turn knees to face one way, pass around the other direction
Sweeps when they stand up
(When both feel are close): Grab both heels, elevate hips into them
(When both feet are back & head is down): Keep grips on sleeves, elevate body by stepping on hips
1) From elevated position: Roll straight over the head to the mount
2) From elevated position: take one foot off, allow the body to fall into an arm bar
3) From elevated position: take one foot off, allow the body to fall all the way to take the back
(When one foot is close): Grab heel and same side sleeve, one foot push on hip other foot sweep far leg
