So I've been working on this a lot lately; some x guard, goes, a little de la riva. I need some help with the finer points and good strategies. I love hitting the leg locks and sweeps but sometimes I'll just get passed.
I try to control the outside of the knees, and it works somewhat. But should I chase the guy? Should he come to me?
I know there's a few guys on here who are Scoot Masters, and I need in on the glory :P
I don't consider myself a butt-scoot master, but I find that the more aggressive you are, the harder it is for someone to pass your open guard. I always threaten with arm-drags whenever I can reach an arm, even if it's unlikely to work, because my opponent is no longer thinking about passing, but defending.
active guard and I keep at least one hook on the thigh shin hip or under an arm

if u take a look at saulo ribeiro's University of Jiu Jitsu book, he really emphasizes scooting as opposed to bridging when an opponent has you back and neck
Why does this help butt scooting?Quote:
