Class 405...

A No Gi Beginners class on passing guard. We played with the following:

Butterfly Guard Pass: opponent's butterfly hooks are under your legs, force opponent back by driving your hands under his armpits and get his back to the floor; your head goes to his stomach and your elbows cage his hips. Move one knee across so both your knees are trapping one knee of the opponent, hand grabs opposite shoulder, pressure down and pass to side.

Over Under Pass from Full Guard: posture up in guard of opponent and pin his body to the mat by controlling his hips with your hands; force your knee between his bum cheeks, then open hips by stepping back on one leg; push that leg of opponent down and pin it to the floor; scoop the other leg of opponent and take it on your shoulder; then grab the opposite shoulder of the opponent and pass to side.

Standing Pass in Full Guard: Pin hand of opponent to his stomach; stand up on the safe side where his hand is pinned and open his hips by opening your own leg and pushing his leg down; move your hips up and pass leg to other side; then drop down and pin his knee in knee slide position. Pass to side or go mount.

Double Under pass Against Open Guard: Secure control of both legs; push knee in; drop down and use double unders; pull opponent's hips to your knees, grab opposite collar and pass to side.

Playing King of the Guard was poor today. My sparring was also poor. I felt miles off the pace today. The only good bit of news is that I am experimenting with handgun chokes.
