Modern Guard Passing
Why is the topic of guard passing so important in the world of modern Jiu-Jitsu? The answer is simple. During the early 2000s, BJJ guards truly reached new heights. As that happened, guard passing started lagging behind a bit. Then, in the past 7-8 years, lapel guards became a real nuisance for people training in the Gi. Moreover, No-Gi’s version of lapel guards turned out to be leg locks, mostly done from bottom positions. This, in turn, forced guard passing to start evolving in order to catch up. And it did in a fantastic way.
Modern guard passing, like you, ‘ll see in the Science Of Guard Passing Lucas Lepri DVD, is a lot different than old school passing. It addresses the modern-day problems of the BJJ bottom game. If you can’t deal with leg lock attacks, and the hundreds of lapel guard variations, you’ll soon become frustrated. Modern-day guard passing ensures you have systems to beat any guard. Plus, you can be certain it works, because Lepri is yet to encounter someone whose guard he cannot pass in competition.
There’s also another aspect of modern-day guard passing – attacking. Today, guard passing isn’t only about getting to side control. There are plenty of competitions that do not award points, meaning you need something more substantial out of your passes. Now, you need to have attacks ready straight off your passes, or even better, transitional attacks. This may include leg locks, chokes, or simply bypassing side control to the back or mount. The modern-day passing game is a fast-paced, pressure-based one that requires foolproof techniques in order to work against everyone. This Lucas Lepri DVD delivers precisely that, and then some!
