STANDING GUARD OPEN AND PASS: step by step in jiu-jitsu
GUARD PASSCLOSED GUARD · ON TOPIBJJF +3
Step by step
- Set your posture leaning away, supporting your hands on his torso, never with a hand on the ground.
- Open the gi, join both lapels and make the punch grip, so he cannot break your posture.
- Control the sleeve and press his arm against his own hip.
- 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.
- Bring up the second leg and stand tall with both knees bent and your posture upright.
- Release the lapel, bring your hand to his knee and push the leg down using the arm together with the torso: the lock opens.
- Place your knee on the floor, gain the inside underhook and wrap his head before he can close the half guard.
- Use the hook to kill the bottom leg, pass your arm over the top leg and lower your torso with shoulder pressure.
- Use a windshield-wiper motion: move the lead leg beyond his knee line, then free the leg that stayed behind.
- Land by his side, organize your chest and hips and stabilize side control.
