Against opponents with a strong closed guard, it is often wise to attempt a stand-up pass. Victor shows a great stand-up guard pass by controlling his opponent’s sleeve, standing up with proper posture and passing into side control.
-
- Step 1: Victor sets up correct posture in Raphael’s guard.
-
- Step 2: Victor begins to stand. He’s controlling Raphael’s right sleeve so Victor begins to stand with his left leg.
-
- Step 3: Victor stands up in Raphael’s guard using proper posture
-
- Step 4: Victor switches sleeve control from left hand to right, saves his elbow and begins to make pressure downward on Raphael’s right leg.
-
- Sure that his right elbow is safe, Victor uses his left hand to reach back and open the guard
-
- Step 6: Victor controls his opponent’s leg
-
- Step 7: Victor passes while still controlling the sleeve.
