Technique: Passing the Guard 2

3/28/2011 ~ 4/8/2011

Our focus of the last two weeks in El Dorado Hills has been on passing the guard. Although passing the guard may appear to be as simple as stepping around the person, there are many little intricacies and tricks involved. When trying to pass the guard it is important to remember that there is an appropriate time to create space  and take away space. So many times when we are trying to pass the guard we are so preoccupied with closing the gap to... "Press! Press! Press!" Yet, you need to know how you can create space and take it way.

- PASSING - (Start from the feet, open guard)

- Control the ankles
     1. Reach across and pull the leg across
     2. Push feet up, lead with hips,  shelf and cover legs on your thigh
        - Pass to 100 kilos
        - Pass to Mount (blocking knees against mat)
        - Pass to Mount (hugging knees between legs)

- Control the knees
     1. Jump Over to the mount, lead with the hips
     2. Step to the side to a knee on belly
     3. Fake one side go to the other
     4. Lead with the shoulder, should in the stomach, move up to 100 kilos
