GI Technique

About a months ago I made a Short But Sweet Guard Passing video where I do 57 guard passing techniques in just 8 min.

Well I got a lot of people asking about what I call the  "Low Level X-Pass".  It's basically a mix of the X-Pass and the Over/Under pass.

Well, I've been getting great feedback and questions in regards to the "Short but Sweet" reference videos that I've been uploading and one of the more common beginner questions is why I turn my body the way that I do when I am opening my partners guard on my knees in my 57 Guard Passing Techniques in Techniques in Just 8 Minutes Video.

Vitor Ribeiro won the Mundials Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Championship four times, once as a purple belt in 1996 and then again three more times as a black belt. In this video he breaks down a unique half guard sweep.

Back again!! lol, This video was suppose to be apart of the no-gi video series that I made but then I realized it would be over 8 minutes

A great half guard pass that you really need to check out.

Passin your opponent's guard is a good thing, right?

This video shows a guard concept that is what I consider "advanced basics". It is simple enough for everyone to practice, and effective enough for everyone at all levels to hit during their live rolling and competitions. The main premise is using hip control, pressure, and timing to off balance your opponent from the guard and set up attacks.

Here is a nice option from the basic side control into guard escape that I use.  By putting your leg over the head instead of over the back you get all kinds of goodies like armbars, triangles, kimoras and more...
