(rock music) – Now, we gonna take a look, once we open the guard,
where we go from there. We have a few different options. So always got full, remember the grip like you're drivin' a wheel with one hand. The second hand's saving you,
your whole body's sideways. Bring the first leg up. Always this one, because
if you bring the opposite your body goes square,
your elbow goes in again.
You're setting yourself
up for an arm lock, or a triangle if you're
able to pull your arm out. Why you get caught in a triangle every single time you escape an arm lock? Because once I'm here, square, he goes in. I yank, go for the arm
lock, I yank it out. In order to pull one arm out, I need to push with the other. So I always leave one hand back, and give him a chance to
finish me in a triangle. That's why this position is so effective, because I keep safe the whole time. One, two, open. Once it's open, you gotta work, even if he holds my sleeve, I don't care. I keep the elbow touching
inside of his knee, right there. Now look, my leverage here is so strong, that even if he is holding tight there, I pull my elbow in, my
hand swims through, look. Once I have the grip, I push my leg back, and I put the leg over my shoulder. And then I drive, to get across side.
Very important thing is
not only to pass the guard, but to maintain the side control. So I know how his hip will find leverage to put me back in guard. So the moment that I pass him here, if I let him free to
escape the hip that way, then he is right back here,
the legs start pushing me back, boom, I'm back in guard. So in order to prevent that, if you'll notice, when I'm here, my hand is in and push. Look what I do with this
hand, when I clear the leg, my hand throws a punch on the ground, and locks his hip like a pin, like a safety pin to lock his hip.
Can you escape your hip, no. And then I have you. Once I have the position, I let go and I have the chest-to-chest, I have completely side control here. You see, so the moment that I clear, the hand touches right there, look. That will kill any way of
him to put me back in guard. (rock music).
