In this video you can watch and understand a bit better what I do to beat the Worm Guard… In this situation Im competing against Keenan Cornelius, who is probably the best one on this type of game. First thing, I just placed my left knee on the ground to get a better base, and controlled his lapel with my left hand and his pants with my right hand. Doing that, I feel confident enough to change my base and break his worm guard grip. One thing that is very important to understand is that my hip and both legs are always supposed to be stronger than my opponents’ arms, so once I change my base, kicking my leg back, it’s almost impossible for him to keep control of the lapel. And once his grips are broken I can just move to the other side doing what I call the “Quick Pass” or set the traditional Folding Pass, and little by little go towards the side control or mount. I actually paused the video in the moment that I could chose the “Quick Pass” or “Folding Pass” and the reason I chose the “Quick Pass” Is because I felt that once I broke the lapel grip, I had to move quick, to not give him any chance to set the lapel guard again… Every time I’m passing I always try to go to the Folding Pass or some of the variations, like this one for example, because I know that those are the passings that I will have a higher chance to pass or tire my opponent out… Soon I will make a post explaining how I use the Folding Pass to go to the mount… I hope these videos are helping you to understand how I think when Im passing the guard, and on my next instructional about Folding Pass with @bjj.fanatics I show and teach almost 30 different variations and details on how to use the Folding Pass.
