In today’s video I’m going to show you a BJJ strategy or concept of using Guard Passing and Leg Locks today. This video was recorded several months ago after a conversation with one of my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu students. During the chat I told him that most of my best leg lock submission setups come from Guard Passing situations.
That’s right, my best setups for things like heel hooks, toe holds, ankle locks, etc. All come from Guard Pass situations.
Here’s why. . .
In the video I explain how anytime an extremity moves away from the body it becomes weaker and more vulnerable. Well if you’re passing someone’s guard they’ll be forced to use their legs for retention of their guard. During this situation where their legs extend you can use this moment as a chance to attack the leg.
This is true for almost any position. For example if someone extends their arms you can armbar them.
Another idea that you can takeaway is that if we attack the persons legs they’ll feel threatened and pull their legs back making it easy to pass. So in essence leg locks and guard passing can work great in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
Hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
