Pulling Guard Counter?

[Cora Sek]

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.

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! :-)
