Jake has a legitimate passing system, based on years of experimenting and studying his opponents strategies. Now, instead of getting stuck down in good guards, he’s got a reliable and efficient answer to some of grappling’s most frustrating problems. Nothing can make your training feel more painful and hopeless than constantly getting pulled deeper and deeper into a tricky guard, not sure how to take back control of the fight. Maybe you know a few passes, but what you do know doesn’t fit together the best ways, and you are left holding on and trying to survive. Now, that can be over, because Jake’s Gringo Passing system gives you a way to keep progressing through the guard.
You can make sure you get the most out of this position at all times, because more than telling you just how to do each move, Jake uses his longtime teaching experience to explain when he’s doing each move, and what reactions he is waiting for. You can stay one step ahead of the bottom man all day, until you are ready to establish the pass and work for the tap. Throughout this series, he goes over some of the biggest and most common areas we get stuck, including ways to smash through the closed guard, open guard, half guard, butterfly and more.
Standing in Closed Guard with Jake
1. Establish Posture
Jake is simply going to take the time to establish his posture and gain comfort in the closed guard
2. Control Sleeve, Step Leg Up
Jake will now control his opponent’s sleeve and step the leg up on the same side of the sleeve he has controlled
3. Wind Shield Wiper Second Leg
Jake is now going to wind shield wiper his second leg in order to stand up with better posture and put more pressure on his opponent’s legs so that they break open
4. Push The Knee
Now that Jake has successfully stood up, if the guard did not open, he will use his hand that is not controlling the sleeve to push the leg
4. Gain Posture Push Leg Down More
Now Jake is going to force his opponents leg to the mat and establish his posture, this makes it difficult for his opponent to recompose any guard
6. Solidify Posture and Prepare to Pass
Jake will now solidify his posture and he will end in an advantageous position where he can begin to pass a myriad of ways. To learn how he passes, check out his new series
Some guards just seem unpassable. For whatever reason, no matter what attack you try, you ust get rolled up and spat out, having to start over and try again. What this really means is that something in your fundamentals is wrong, and you don’t even realize it yet. That’s where Jake can come in, to lead you through the fundamental positions and strategies he uses to stay where he wants to be. Instead of just learning a pass, you can learn how to really play on top, without being constantly threatened by the same couple of attacks. Even better, none of what Jake shows needs for you to be any kind of athlete, this is real world passing that works with your body, instead of needing you to bench press someone through the mat, or lift them up over your head.
For anyone looking to add more submissions to their toolkit, this is a great source. No series is complete without the threat of the tap, and as Jake moves strategically from position to position, he knows exactly when and where he can attack without sacrificing any control. Rolling to your back to secure a submission can be risky, and going for any move too early can risk losing position, so benefit from Jake’s expertise as he gives you the roadmap you need to be a constant threat from the top position.
So What’s On This Series?
An Open And Shut Guard
-Any grappler at the highest level knows that passing the best guards isn’t about dealing with the crazy stuff, it’s about addressing the fundamentals, so Jake begins with the most common fight from top: breaking and passing the closed guard. Always a staple of BJJ, you must know how to attack and defend inside the guard if you hope to survive and thrive on the mats. With a combination of old school pressure passing techniques, and more modern standing breaks, there are solutions here for any body type or skill level. Once the guard is opened, learn how to break down the position and pass with a unique combination of pins, smashes, and techniques that Jake has mastered. As you go through this 4-volume set, Jake addresses position after position you can use to keep adding to your game, including a series of half guard passes (coming from a half guard master in his own right).
Pass, Smash, And Finish The Fight
-Learn to smash through the guard, control your opponent, and move to the back for that perfect choke with these new and effective turtle attacks. Instead of grabbing and trying to jump and roll, possibly losing position, instead use this simpler, more effective special from Jake, using a crucifix set up to roll your way through to the back. Some of the details and finer points make this a can’t miss attack. See variation after variation on how to use your control to safely and securely get to the back and finish the fight.
Take On All Guards With This
-Once you have learned to control and pass the most basic and problematic BJJ guards, expand your game out with some specialty passes from Jake’s repertoire. Float and flow technically through the traps of single leg x, deep half, and butterfly, among others, and never be left without a reliable answer again.
