Gi guards tend to be overly complicated for my liking, but I must admit that I am a fan of the lasso guard. It is simple, by the standards of modern Gi guards, and it is effective. The only thing that made me shy away from it was that there were effective ways to easily break it.
Enter Frame Lasso Guard Robson Moura DVD, and all has changed. Now, one of the main building blocks of effective lasso guard counters is no longer serving the person trying to break the guard, but rather the person playing it. Check out the details of what’s inside this instructional.
A Sticky Gi Guard Made Stickier
The lasso guard is a very boring position to be in. While not impossible, and until today, fairly easy to deal with, the guard does force the top player into very specific areas of motion, which, of course, means that you can attack from the bottom, as long as you know what you need to do.
In a very impressively original way, Robson builds on the success of the staple Gi lasso guard by introducing a complete guard game once the top person decides to use a very common counter to the guard. Instead of their frame working to block you, it now provides an even stickier guard opportunity.
While this concept is nothing new, I’ve actually never seen anything like it from the lasso guard. Simply put, if you like playing the lass, then the Lasso Guard Robson Moura DVD will solve one of your biggest issues in the position with a foolproof method.
Tiny-Sized BJJ Legend Robson Moura
In my blue belt days, Robson Moura was the man to learn from. Already with a legendary status as one of the best ever small-framed grapplers in the world, and the man who made other legends, such as Ryan Hall, Robson always offered details to the extreme in his instructionals and seminars.
For the last decade or so, I’ve not seen or heard too much from the featherweight, though. He has his own association of academies called the Robdon Moura Nations United, which I guess keeps him busy. That said, he is still one of the best BJJ teachers in the world on any given day, especially for guards.
Originally from Brazil, Robson has been training since 1988. He got his black belt from Andre Pederneiras and has 5 world titles, a Brazilian Nationals title, and the CBJJO World Cup Champion title.
Solid across the board, Robson has always had a knack for developing guards, such as the 93 guard that everyone was crazy about some 10 years ago. Now, it’s time for another gem in the Frame Lasso Robson Moura DVD
Frame Lasso Robson Moura DVD Review
The Frame Lasso Robson Moura DVD contains three volumes, each with around half an hour of running time, which means the instructionals last just over an hour and a half. it is a Gi-only DVD, which is a given considering the lasso guard subject:
Part 1 – Immediate Frame Lasso Attacks
The Frame Lasso Guard Robson Moura DVD kicks off with an entry to the guard, which is fairly easy to figure out, as the entire concept of the guard is to be a counter to a counter. Immediately, Robson offers a quick attack in the form of one of my favorite surprise subs – the shotgun armbar.
Moura extends there armbar attack toward belly down armbars as the DVD goes on, tying down a last-minute sweep to ensure you get something out of the attack, even if the armbar fails. A hook sweep from the original frame lasso brings things to an end in part one.
Part 2 – Back Attacks & Sweep Combinations
In a minimalistic kind of way, the first volume of the Robson Moura Frame Lasso DVD is actually more than enough to attack efficiently against all kinds of opponents. Part two offers more depth, but, understandably, also features more complicated moves.
Sweeps are Robson’s main attack from the position, with a De la Riva sweep-to-back option straight off the bat, followed by an entire pendulum sweep mini system that leads to mount, back, or into a staple pass.
Part 3 – Standing Opponent
The final portion of this Frame Lasso Robson Moura DVD addresses a common problem you’ll encounter when playing the lasso guard, which is your opponent standing up. While it may seem like you’re getting their posture broken in the process, without a good connection, you’ll be on the receiving end of some pretty unpleasant passing.
Once again, sweeps are in the spotlight, leading into quick armbar variations, just like in the first volume of the DVD. The usual threat of a back take is expanded to include an X guard sweep that opens up a Kimura, providing even more variety, and tying the frame lasso to a very effective guard.
Master Counterattacking in BJJ
Counterattacking is a term you’ve heard in BJJ. You might even know a move or two to use in specific situations, most likely leg locks. The question I have, which will probably make your brain hurt, is how many counters can you do?
Yeah, I know, you’ve never thought about it. Understandably, the natural solution to a counter would be to pull out, regroup, and try to maintain your position rather than improve on it. Well, that’s not all you can do – you can also counter the counter.
While it may seem like this brings us to a loop of endlessly countering counters, the truth is that the cycle stops when just one of the counters works. With the Robson Moura Frame Lasso Guard DVD, you get an entire system to counter a common guard counter, ensuring that the cycle stops with you dictating what happens in that match.
