Pulling guard in the BJJ world is often ridiculed by Judoka and Wrestlers who see it as a cowardly way to face someone. Nowadays with the rules of sport BJJ, you can win matches with very little knowledge in the takedown. How can you neutralize someone with 20+ years of wrestling or Judo? Just pull guard… Think about it…

Nowadays the recent trend is to intercept the guard pull by flying cartwheeling jumping over the guard puller and ending up in side control.

This is a spectacular move. Lucas ‘Hulk’ Barbosa, Yan Pica Pau, & Patrick Gaudio are some of the major users of this method.

A more simple way to stop the guard pull or jump to closed guard is to do what Judo legend Masahiko Kimura does. He reaps the leg which the opponent is left stand then drops flat.

This is a great option to have, especially if you know that your opponent will pull guard

So you’ve been working on your takedowns but your training partner keeps on pulling guard. How annoying! These are the things you can practice.
