Do you want to know a little secret? Old School Passes are the best weapon against new school guards. When you have an opponent that likes to use more modern guard styles like lapel guard, worm guard, reverse de la Riva etc, you have to shut down these guards even before they happen. How? Put your knees on the mat, control the hips and put pressure!
Now let’s say that you are on the bottom and are at the receiving end of a heavy smash pass. How do you in the first place, prevent it and retain your guard?
BJJ black belts Firas Zahabi and Karel ‘Silver Fox’ Pravec show how to counter common pressure passes and pressure positions. Getting smash passed is painful and no fun at all is non fun so be sure to take notes and apply the concepts from this great instruction.
