In July 2018, Renzo Gracie made history by winning an MMA match at 51, against an opponent ten years younger. He fought historic bouts in Pride FC in the 90s and became a crucial player in the transition between vale-tudo and modern MMA. He also stood out through the birth and rise of submission wrestling organization the Abu Dhabi Combat Club, where he became a two-time champion, and also won a super fight at the age of 50. Renzo is one of the most respected martial arts teachers in the world and runs a 15,000 sq. ft. academy located in the heart of Manhattan, NY.
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.
Often a BJJ technique is only efficient if applied swiftly, like this guard pass. If your legs move slowly, you won't be able to get past the guard player's leg and reach side control. Pay attention to how Leo Tunico distributes his weight over his opponent's legs when it's time to stabilize the pass.
Although very effective, the butterfly guard can be beaten. Shawn Williams shows a pass that is based on keeping your opponent with their back flat on the ground while you smash right into the mount. Watch how Williams positions his head during the progression to avoid getting guillotined.
