STANDING UP GUARD PASS: step by step in jiu-jitsu

GUARD PASSCLOSED GUARD · ON TOPIBJJF +3

Step by step

  1. Since he controls both of your sleeves, pull the lapels to the middle and hold at a height where your arm is neither stretched out nor cramped.
  2. Circle the arm of the held sleeve over the top and control his sleeve, cancelling that grip.
  3. Pin the controlled hand to his hip, drop the weight of the lapel hand onto his belly and stand up first with the leg on the sleeve side.
  4. Raise the second leg quickly and close a seat behind his hips, keeping his hips suspended.
  5. Switch the collar hand to the sleeve, break the grips toward the ground and recover your posture.
  6. Bring your hand to his knee, sway your hips until the lock opens and move your base back a little.
  7. Drive his knee down to the ground and keep your hook active so he cannot close the half guard.
  8. Wrap the head, stay over his arm and switch your base without removing the hook.
  9. Complete the pass and stabilize side control.
