Closed Guard Passes
Posted on November 11th, 2014
The first pass is what to do if they have your posture broken down
- grab lapels
- stand up keeping your feet close together
- all your feet in so they make a 90° angle
- use one knee between their legs to wedge their legs open
the second pass is a more traditional stand up, but some good additional notes
- if you have good control of their belt, you can hop up to so you don’t need control their arm
- squeeze their hips between your knees, so they’re unable to hip move
Roll Notes
- Overall, it was pretty disappointing
- I was having trouble stabilizing even white belts. I ran into the stiff arm multiple times that got me back into guard
- I was able to keep a purple belt from submitting me
- when I go for my submissions, I really need to go for them
- I tried the side mount arm choke, but had my weight way too far over him, and was rolled over
