For MMA, playing guard is not always the best or safest strategy. It’s easy to end up stuck in your guard and getting ground and pounded. For this reason, I like using the over hook guard, especially in MMA.

From the over hook, it is difficult for your opponent to strike – even head butts are off the table. It’s also perhaps the best striking position for the guard player, as they have easy access to elbows to the head.

However, there are a lot of great attacks from the over hook guard, especially when the opponent is trying to strike. Key among them is the triangle choke.

If you would like to improve your guard passing, there are two things that will help you. The first is to play with resistance in the positions that you want to pass. And the second is to choose an opening gambit that can be used to funnel their responses into a pattern that you can start capitalizing on.

The idea of an opening gambit is also something that you can apply broadly to other aspects of the game that you want to improve at. So try on the bottom of the guard as well.

Today’s question comes from a Brown Belt who’s a big guy, with big arms, big chest and a big belly. His words, not mine. He’s having trouble rolling from back mount because of his stomach getting in the way. And so, he’s curious if I have any work arounds technically to deal with that.

In this video I steer away from the idea of looking at this problem technically. Because for many people I think they’d make their BJJ skill better if they focused on develop their physical fitness and living a healthier lifestyle. Along with that I share a few quick stories about students and friends I’ve had in Jiu-jitsu who made massive improvements in their BJJ abilities by focusing on improving their fitness level.

Also, if you take my advice on hiring a coach for your diet. Here’s the social media page for my nutrition coach who writes out my meals for me.
