Training Session - 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. Renzo Gracie, Shawn Willians 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

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.

LESSON PLAN


Renzo Gracie's guard-opening tips

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.

Quick-step pass

Quick-step pass

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.

Smash pass vs. butterfly guard

Smash pass vs. butterfly guard

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.
