STANDING GUARD OPEN AND PASS: step by step in jiu-jitsu

GUARD PASSCLOSED GUARD · ON TOPIBJJF +3

Step by step

  1. Set your posture leaning away, supporting your hands on his torso, never with a hand on the ground.
  2. Open the gi, join both lapels and make the punch grip, so he cannot break your posture.
  3. Control the sleeve and press his arm against his own hip.
  4. Stand first with the leg on the side of the controlled arm and transfer your weight through the grips, so he cannot wrap your leg.
  5. Bring up the second leg and stand tall with both knees bent and your posture upright.
  6. Release the lapel, bring your hand to his knee and push the leg down using the arm together with the torso: the lock opens.
  7. Place your knee on the floor, gain the inside underhook and wrap his head before he can close the half guard.
  8. Use the hook to kill the bottom leg, pass your arm over the top leg and lower your torso with shoulder pressure.
  9. Use a windshield-wiper motion: move the lead leg beyond his knee line, then free the leg that stayed behind.
  10. Land by his side, organize your chest and hips and stabilize side control.
