GUARD PASS STUDY: MOVEMENT
A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK INTO THE MOVEMENT AND TECHNIQUES FROM THE ART OF JIU JITSU PASSING SYSTEM. THE STUDY IS BROKEN DOWN INTO THREE MAIN COMPONENTS AND ALSO OFFERS BREAKDOWN ANALYSIS OF GUARD PASSING SEQUENCES USED IN RECENT COMPETITIONS BY AOJ COMPETITORS.
GUARD PASS STUDY: MOVEMENT
AVAILABLE NOW ON DEMANDTHE FIRST COMPONENT OF THE STUDY FOCUSES ON THE FOUNDATIONAL LEVEL: LEGWORK & MOBILITY. INCREASING COORDINATION AND BALANCE HAS A POSITIVE COMPOUND EFFECT ON AN ATHLETE’S ABILITY TO MOVE ON TOP. IT REDUCES REACTION TIME, MAKES TRANSITIONS MORE EFFICIENT AND PRECISE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY INCREASES CONFIDENCE.
DYNAMIC GUARD PASSING MOVEMENTS: LONGSTEP, LEG WEAVE, LEG TRAP, LEG DRAG, SHIN SLICE, WINDSHIELD WIPER, TOPSPIN & OPENING THE KNEE
THE SLOWER, MORE TRADITIONAL STYLE OF PASSING ON THE KNEES HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH THE FAST PACED AND FREE MOVING STYLE OF TODAY THAT PASSES WHILE STANDING
THE SECOND COMPONENT BUILDS ON THE FOUNDATION AS WE BEGIN TO COMBINE TECHNIQUES. BEING ABLE TO SEQUENCE TECHNIQUES TOGETHER ALLOWS THE GUARD PASSER TO STRATEGICALLY BREAK THE OPPONENT’S GUARD AND REMAIN OFFENSIVE REGARDLESS OF THE OPPONENT’S REACTION.
BEING ABLE TO COMBINE TECHNIQUES AND SEQUENCE THEM TOGETHER IS ESSENTIAL TO BEING A SUCCESSFUL GUARD PASSER. OFTEN TIMES IT’S THE DEFINING FACTOR IN WHETHER A GOOD ATTACK IS ABLE TO TRANSLATE INTO A COMPLETED GUARD PASS OR NOT.
THE THIRD AND FINAL COMPONENT IN THIS GUARD PASS STUDY SPOTLIGHTS ATTACKING BOTH SIDES. IT COMPLEMENTS THE PREVIOUS COMPONENT OF COMBINING TECHNIQUES AND UNLOCKS MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE GUARD PASSER TO ACHIEVE A DOMINANT POSITION.
