In this video I’m competing against a good friend and one of the competitors that I admire and respect the most – Felipe Pena. Felipe has one of the best cardio and guards in the Jiu-Jitsu World. If you try to exchange cardio with him it’s almost sure that you will get tired first and he will end up catching you. In this case, nothing is better than the Folding Pass. Once we get the Folding Pass, the main goal is not even to pass his guard; it’s just to tire him out and force him to work. As you can see in the video, everytime Felipe tries to move, I just follow him side to side, forcing him to work and draining his energy. This is my main goal with the Folding Pass, every extra bit of energy I can drain from my opponent is something that I can capitalize on during the match. At this level of competition there are two things that can never happen: 1 – we can not make any fatal mistake and 2 – We can’t get tired. So if you find a way to make your opponent tired, and if you put him in a vulnerable position where mistakes can happen, you have a much higher chance of winning. And this is exactly my goal with the Folding Pass. Force him to work, and tire him out. In this match I was not able to pass Felipe’s guard, but I believe that forcing him to resist it, was probably the detail that made me win the match. If I had not gotten this position I would probably have gotten tired sooner than him. Soon I will make a post explaining how I use the Folding Pass against the Worm Guard.
