GUARD PULL: step by step in jiu-jitsu

TRANSITIONSTANDING

Step by step

  1. Make your grips on the gi: one hand on the elbow and the other on the collar, at collarbone height.
  2. Place your foot on his hip, on the same side where he holds your collar.
  3. Project your body to the side before sitting, keeping both grips and your foot firm on his hip.
  4. As you sit, really pull him with you; he must lean forward and adjust his stance to avoid falling.
  5. Lift your other leg, raise your hips from the floor and use that leg to bring his back close.
  6. Close your legs behind him and only then organize the closed guard.
