The Lasso Guard can be an incredibly difficult position to get out from in BJJ… Passing the guard of a much larger opponent can sometimes be a difficult task. However, if it’s done right, you will be in great shape to win the match. One thing that we have talked about in past articles over and over is the fact that we need to use mobility to our advantage.
Trying to pass the guard of our opponent while our mobility is limited will be extremely difficult, so being able to quickly change direction and weight distribution is super important.
Getting stuck in Lasso Guard is one of the worst positions you can get in BJJ. But there are ways out of it…
Such as the following technique from Andrew Wiltse!
Wiltse demonstrates important principles and details on smashing the Lasso Guard, on the video below:
