Your SIMPLE guide to ADVANCED guard retention
youtube·Less Impressed More Involved BJJ·13:19·4 techniques
Overview
This video provides a strategic guide to retaining guard against three advanced passing systems: inside camping from half guard and headquarters, north south passing, and over-under passing. The instructor analyzes specific mechanics for each pass, offering counter-strategies such as using knee shields to free trapped legs, controlling the passer's inside hand to prevent leg smashes, creating body misalignment to disrupt north south pressure, and keeping legs tight to deny over-under head position. The content emphasizes reading the passer's grip and posture to select the correct retention response.
