5. Killing the hips and transitioning to the head

Philosophy of Opening Closed Guard @3:43

Central problem is his hips are above yours. To counter this it is best to stand and break open the closed guard. The risk of standing to break guard are not as risky as staying on your knees to break. 

Opening Closed Guard (Standard Method) (1-5) @12:13

-(Wedging the Knees)Don't keep knees too far apart or opp. can use jackknife motion to pull you down. Put your knees underneath the outside of opp. hips an but. 

-Hands on torso to keep opp. down.

2) Grab the opp. two lapels with each hand, then bring the lapels together so that the right hand grabs both, palm down elbow out.

3) Left hand grabs opp. right cuff. (use indirect method to acquire grib)

Three step pattern

4) Step up with left foot as you raise up and pivot your lower right leg out. When you first step up, your head is over your hands, slightly hunched forward.

5) Then step up & forward with your right foot. 

6) Take any necessary adjusting steps so that you are in a square stance. 

Vertical Posture

10) Step back with left foot as you push opp. left leg to the floor and pin it with your right shin. Your chest should be occupying the space between opp. knees.

Opening Closed Guard 6 @0:56:10

Guard Break Variation

 Instead of pushing on opp. knee, this time he uses a Reach Back where he inserts his right arm between his opp. ankles, then uses a curling like motion to break the guard. Generally then walk back and control opp. legs.

Overview of 3 Methods @0:41:18

-Idea of combining the three

-When you might use each method. 

Problem of Procrastination @0:47:11

The 5 Steps of Guard Passing 0:52:53

1) Breaking Connection 

-Best connection for your opp. is the four points of connection (Both his hands and both his feet connected to you). 

-You must break at least some of those connections first. 

-If you can't break a connection, need to at least negate the grip.

-Some connections aren't a threat.

2) Make your opp. feet point away from you (either up, down or to either side) @1:00:30

3) Get to advantaged positions (such as flank position and staging positions such as split squat). @1:06:26

4) Make Opponents knees point away from you. If you can't move knees away, move yourself to the other side of his body. @1:10:53

5) Killing the hips and transitioning to the head and shoulders. @1:17:45

Negate Advantage Completion Guard Passing Model @1:27:13

NAC Open Guard Passing Method

1) Split Squat As Ultimate Staging Platform @1:32:07

-Everything begins with negation. Whenever you have a difficult problem to solve, first get rid of any interference or annoyances that make that problem difficult to solve. When passing the guard, it is difficult to do so when your opponent is attacking you the whole time. So first shut down his offense. The split squat is one of the better ways of doing this. 

Volume 3

Double Under Pass @1:34

1) From outside advantage place both hands on soles of opp. feet or under his heels and lift his feet up toward the ceiling (at least above his knees). 

2) Drop down and pummel both arms under opp. legs. You want to be at angle so that you are aligned along the imaginary line running from your opp. shoulder to opposite hip. 

3) Your right shoulder is under opp. hamstring. Right hand grabs low on opp. lapel. Left hand comes to small of back at draw strings. Drive into him so that his hips left off the mat.

4) Your left knee wedges opp. hip, your head is above opp. head. 

5) Get a higher grip on opp. lapel. Extend  other leg as you extend your upper body to pass the leg. 

 

Over Under Pass @26:12

1) Grip the right pant at the ankle with your left hand. Your right hand goes to opp. left knee.

2) Step up so that his right leg is between your legs, then slide down to your knees, with your right arm going under opp. left leg.

3) Your chin goes to opp. left hip (connect your chin to your hand) as you come to your feet and place your chest pressure onto his gut. Your left arm goes over opp. right leg. You are on your feet in a asymmetrical manner.

4) Walk up to the right side of opp. until his right knee is caught by your hip. 

5) Carry opp. knee back to center line, then back step your right leg over opp. right leg. 

Knee Cut Pass @46:17

Volume 4 

Toreando Pass

-General idea. Get off to the side (get an angle). Push the far leg off to the side (along the hip line) and the near leg down (along the center line. @2:53

-You want to get a connection to opp. legs but not let them get a connection to your legs with their legs (when approaching don't go beyond the toe line) or your arms with their legs. @3:55

-This is were the debate about grabbing gi pants vs gripping the ankles begins. When gripping the pants there is a lot of play which possibly allowing opp. to grab your sleeves and pummel legs inside to your biceps. They can't do this when you grab ankles but grabbing the pants is a more robust grip. @5:42

-Generally, when making first contact, the goal is to make opp, feet point away from you. @7:10

-Classic Pant Gripping Method - Don't go beyond toe line. Flat of hands on shins then grab cloth. Push legs toward opp. chest. Step off to the side and push the far knee along the hip line and the near knee along the center line. Move Knee to opp. hip. Slide down to side mount. @11:00

-If opp. gets a connection to your biceps with his feet @23:17

-Knee to tailbone option @24:43

-Starting from combat base/Knee drop position @27:18

-Using Toreando to enter into other forms of guard passing @30:00

-No Gi Method - Approach opp. Divert legs off to the side. Push far leg to floor. Establish side control position. @32:00

-There's more action, reaction elements in toreando than in most other passes.

-To get an angle you can either throw opp. legs to the side (move opp.) or step off to the side (move yourself). 35:40
