Pulling Guard Counter?

WHat would you do in this situation? Having Cora videos online, people are noticing that Cora pulls guard all the time, so they pull guard also. And its not just at tournaments, even at the gym the kids are doing this also. Then what you have is 2 kids sitting down at the beginning for a match, just like this video. What route do you take from here? I just want to see if we are heading the right direction. So to counter this, we been working on the Twister pass or learn to fight for the 1/4 guard and force them to play the top game. THank you in advance for any feedback...Bruce

pass guard

A side note: he didn't get her in a triangle, he just got her head and pull really hard that her neck popped so she just tapped.

Yeah pass that guard! I started getting a better passing game because everybody at my gym pulled guard. Itll be good to be well rounded. In the Gi rock some X passes and no gi M1 pass.

PASS PASS PASS. There is a huge problem with modern black belt grappling and its when both competitors pull guard and play a 50/50 game the whole time. I havent (no offense) been an avid Cora follower but i have watched a few videos and she had a super legit guard from what i saw. Now its time to develop the top game. The options from top are endless, grind grind grind that top game. IMO its time to perfect that darce, JNT, guillotine, and passing.

Good Call. No reason to have an ego at that age!!!! : )

do they allow "gi-chokes", i guess they're called, like cross collar choke, bow and arrow ect?

She just needs to get amazing at guard passes. Drill, drill, drill! :-)

double guard pulls = berimbolo! simple as that.

Underpass.

Yea she's got to work on her passing, and if she gets into double guard pull situations, pull a Miyao brothers and berimbolo. Haven't had a tonne of time working it in the gi on it (which in theory is 100 times easier), but have had some success with a nogi berimbolo variation to at least end up passing the guard or causing my opponent to mess up and expose themselves when I get into a double guard pull situation. Most of the times in that situation, it makes more sense to get up, take the advantage, and pass. Double guard pull position is almost a position on its own at times. I know this isn't an example of berimbolo from double guard pull, but just to show that it is doable for higher level kids, like Cora: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkgGvl_TCNg

We have been working on her passing. But you know, this girl is so used to pulling guard that she just feels so natural pulling guard. Its like her safety net or something.

Justin: as you can tell, as soon as they both pull guard, the boy tried to go for the Berimbolo...:)

As of right now, we been drilling the Twister pass, knee slice, and DLR pass.

ANd although she hasn't hit them in competition yet, here are some of her go to TOP GAME. After she pass, she like to go to the knee ride and go for the chopping block. Or she go into side control and transition to the North South choke. ANd if she get the mount most of the time its the time tested Triangle, but as of late she is falling in love with the Gogoplata, like that of Master Eddie. We been studying a lot of Master Eddie rolling on MTS and she is starting to see the common techniques that Master Eddie use and are using them herself. I think in a few more months of rolling, she will use them on a regular in competition.

Josh: thanks bro. I have watched this vid many many times over already...:) Kurt is my man bro, he's crazy!!!!!

Pass the guard, open the guard and stand up on the not reccomended fall to your back and give them mount or top half and escape from there.

If you wanna keep it 10p4L, have her work double under to twister side and baby wipe to truck or baby wipe to back take. Lots of guys practice defending "over" passes but aren't as good at defending under passes. It's good to be good at under passing. Just my 2 cents.
