The Most Powerful Guard Passing System

Рет қаралды 60,729

This video I go over in my opinion the single most effective guard passing system in jiu jitsu. Its so easy to force your opponent to this position, once you get to the strong inside leg position your opponent has only a few options. Most common response from your opponent will be to control your ankle and play the de la riva guard. Once you learn the basics of the normal and reverse leg drag, the knee cut and folding pass, and the de la riva smah, its very difficult for your opponent to defend.

Love the addition of sparring footage at the end. Really makes it easier to understand the technique and application

I love this system of passing! I learned a similar setup from Lovato's headquarters instructional, but he didn't have the emphasis you give on stepping in to the left hamstring or all the stuff about what to do if you can't trap their leg (which I often can't). Thank you for all the great content, and for all the effort it must take!

No problem happy to help, yeah it’s very similar to the Lovato HQ stuff just instead you stay taller and focus more on controlling the dlr leg

Love this system. Love the variations so we know what to do in each varied instance. When you were in St Louis at your seminar in Arnold you mentioned a drill that you recommended where guys take turns playing a position but at some point one guy is supposed to succeed. This way you can train and resist but the full 100% competitive nature is bypassed for a drill that allows you to brainstorm and try different things. For a future video suggestion is there any way you can do a video explaining this drill more in depth?

@JonThomasBJJ 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah one hundred percent I can do a conversation with espen maybe both about sweep and pass drill and specific training. Look forward to visiting St. Louis again.

Tried this earlier. Had no clue what else to do but just remembered to step deep in and remember chest to chest. I always have problems starting from the knees. Today I just stood back up and stepped into the seated guard and pressured down on my opponent. It works! Thanks!

Gold. I like to pass this way. You mention great details. I have to remember to stay closer to the person and not giving them space to regard.

@JonThomasBJJ 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah staying close makes everything so much more dangerous for the guard player it’s so unpredictable for them what you will attack with and the timing to defend is so fast

what do you think of over under and double under passes?

@JonThomasBJJ 2 жыл бұрын

Also great passes but I personally prefer this high over top positioning I feel it’s so aggressive and so fast. There is multiple ways to build a single passing system though of course

I notice you don't put your right hand on their chest to pin them (like Marcelo Garcia does) - what are the pros/cons of that and why don't you do it?

@JonThomasBJJ 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t like to in de La Riva because then I expose a strong collar grip for them to control my base and sweep with. I will control the lapel and pin them more when I am in a passing finishing position though.

@Emanuel_carey 2 жыл бұрын

I always pass that way. When it comes to getting my guard passed, I use the mantis guard when they give me a dlr position

@JonThomasBJJ 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah the Underhook or mantis is really strong, honestly the knee grip disconnecting the foot is so powerful even vs mantis/Underhook dlr it’s so hard for them to stop. I need to do a video on passing that position

How would you apply this to someone starting in combat base?

@JonThomasBJJ 2 жыл бұрын

I would just stand up from combat base and use this if you stay in combat base it would be harder to continue attacking.

@jackmetz4565 11 ай бұрын

I don't understand how you can step in close to the opponents body and avoid getting swept. When your foot is close enough to their hands, isn't that prime for an ankle grab and some form or control or sweep?

Yeah a lot of Leandro mixed with few other systems, Leandro doesn’t break grips as much like Meregali, also Leandro doesn’t work the folder pass system in. I like to mix from a lot of different styles.

@mando3651 9 күн бұрын

This is BS. Using one of the most dynamic, athletic grapplers in history as a reference is crazy. Does it work? I guess but good luck stepping into a high level guard where the person on bottom just lays there with no grips established 😂
