Guard Pass

One of the virtues of a good guard passer is versatility. Having a wide repertoire of techniques is key for the fighter to be able to face different types of guards in diverse situations, avoiding their traps and taking the shortcuts available. With that in mind, this week Renzo Gracie and Leo Tunico guide you through multiple paths, revealing safe, efficient ways to get past your opponent's legs and reach side control. These are passing techniques that are not based on power, but instead on sophisticated concepts, and which will sharpen your perception regarding weight distribution, posture, balance, pressure, dominant grips and more themes inherent to the guard-passing game.

Renzo Gracie's guard-opening tips

Due to facing a multitude of heavier, taller and stronger opponents, Renzo Gracie developed throughout his career many adjustments and positioning tricks that optimize his jiu-jitsu in different situations -- like when he's opening a guard. Notice how Renzo likes to place himself sideways inside his opponent's closed guard, and how he prevents armbars.
