– All right, so there's two ways for me to recover the guard when my
opponent goes to my side, okay? So when he goes here, I
can either turn to him to recover the guard, or I can turn away from him
to recover the guard, okay? When I turn away from him, or
even if I turn towards him, I can use my elbow on the
floor when I'm facing outside. I can use my elbow on the floor, or I can use my hip up, like this. You see, the same roll that I have to do with my arm, right here,
is the same with my leg, okay? So, my elbow is the knee for my arm, right? Let's say, okay? So, I'm gonna stand up and have my back off the mat, or I'm gonna keep my back on the mat, and I'll take my hip off the mat, okay? You can never stay with both on the floor.
You cannot stay with the shoulder and hip on the floor, okay? So if I stay with both sides on the floor, he's gonna control me, okay? But when I'm doing this, now it's a little bit harder
for him to control me, okay? So in wrestling, we call this pin, so you pin the person. So when you pass the guard,
you want to pin them. So Orlando wants to pin me here, okay? So, if I'm doing this, okay? It's a little bit harder
for him to pin as well, but I'm exposing my back, okay? In both situations, I'm
exposing my back, right? So, when I turn towards him, okay? I can use my elbow on the
floor like this, okay? I can also stand up like this too. And with both knees as well, okay? But one thing I need to do here is to protect and frame
this arm here, okay? Because he wants to control
me with my hand, okay? So, if I wanna lift my hip off the mat, I need to frame here, okay? 'Cause if he hugs me here, it's gonna be hard for me to do it, okay? So I need to have freedom right here.
So, I lift and I frame with
this leg right here, okay? The top leg. Or I go like this. Usually, flexible people, they do this. If you're flexible, you go here; you use your hip more, okay? So, if you're stiff, like you can't have much flexibility or you don't have flexibility,
so you go more like this, because you want to find
a space to get up, okay? But the best option is raising the hips like this, this is the best option; framing.
'Cause when I do this,
now what I gotta do, is put my head between my legs and I use my bottom leg to roll. And then I recover the guard, okay? So you got here, first one. I can go escape the hips, okay? That's my guard again. Frame, escape, frame, raise my hip up, you see? And then, roll, okay? So those are the two ways I
can frame and retain the guard to have a better coverage, okay? Just wanna make sure you
guys understand, okay? So, if I'm looking away
from him, like now, okay? Same thing, if I use
my elbow on the floor, I need to escape my hips, okay? Or I use my elbow on the floor and try to use this hook here. You see, I go with my leg across, because now if he tries
to go up to my back, he's gonna end up in between my legs, okay? Or if I can't go with my hook across, I go with my hook inside his leg here, then I can lift and I get the X guard, right? So, when I'm facing outside, I'm looking for it to
have a frame as well.
With my legs, but sometimes
he's really close to me. Stay close, here like a leg drag, yeah. So I can't have the frame, that's why the leg drag
is very, very good, okay? Now what I gotta do is escape the hips, now I have space to get the frame either here or across, okay? And then I carry over the guard, okay? If he goes to my side and I'm here, I have the option to lift my hip, like this.
But, of course, I cannot
keep my arm like this. So I just frame at first, I can sit up or I can go like this. Once I do that, I'm gonna
bring my head through my legs, same roll I did when I was facing to him, and now I need to slide my butt right in between his arm and leg here. So he needs to be on top of my hip, uh, my hamstring right here. Okay, and that way, I open my legs wide and I recover the guard, okay? So where I need to keep my
opponent in between my legs, I need to keep him here or on top of my hamstring, or on top of my frames, okay? Even if he's on the side,
I can have the frame.
I can have between my
legs, working around him, like over my legs, like this, okay? But at the moment that he starts being like more on top of my thighs, then he's gonna pass my guard. So the drill we're gonna work here. It's like this. First, we're gonna do
facing towards him, okay? But he's gonna pass my guard. I'll frame his arm, okay? I'll frame the arm here. I like to do C grip on the bicep, okay? Like this, and my forearm
is already doing the frame on his neck as well. He's gonna try to control your head. If I go on the shoulder like this, he can reach my collar or choking my neck, like this, okay? I like to go here, okay? So now I escape the hips,
frame with the top leg, lift my hips up, and now I put my head between my legs, and use my toes to roll, okay? And as I roll, I recover the guard, so then I can make my grips, okay? Passing the guard for one, frame, escape, frame.
My frame is right, my frame here, the top frame is right
under his armpit, okay? Lift, roll. Okay, other side. Frame, one, two, three. Three steps; one, two, three, I lift, okay, and roll. That's the first one. We're gonna do this for one minute, and then the next one
is when he passed, okay? I'm gonna face with him again as well, but now I'll put my elbow on the floor, and I escape my hips, and put him between my legs. Either hooks guard or closed guard, okay? Pass the other side. Escape, elbow, go under, okay? So I have, shoulder off the mat or hip off the mat. From both, the best one
is lifting the hips, okay? So let's work on that first, then we go facing outside. One, two, three.
(instructor clapping) Okay, he's got the legs already he's passed my guard, and he forced me to face outside. Once he got the leg
drag and killed my hip, like if I do this, he's gonna end up getting
on-side control, okay? So I'm halfway facing the outside.
So it's better for me to
keep moving outside, okay? But, of course, I cannot move with my hip and shoulder on the mat, okay? So if I roll like this, of course he's gonna mount on my back, he's gonna take my back, okay? So that's why when I roll outside, I need to decide if
I'm gonna sit up, okay? Or if I'm gonna elevate
my hip like this, okay? And I work with my toes
on the mat right here, I can use both legs, or
especially the bottom leg here, most likely the bottom leg, and then I'm gonna start rolling, and then I make sure my butt sink in, like inside here, okay? And the same time I'm opening his elbow to recover the guard, so
it's gonna look like this.
So I'm here, I go one, and then I'm ready, back to recover the guard, okay? This is like for flexible guys, right? So when you get here, you're gonna frame, so you gotta watch out for the arm. By the time he's trying
to pass your guard. Try to pass my guard here, – I'm moving – Now, I'm recovering the guard. So, I'm not just bringing my opponent to on top of my hamstring, but also I am avoiding
him from taking my back, how? Putting my back against the mat, okay? So, when he's here, look
that I expose the back here.
If I keep doing this with my
back facing towards his chest, he's gonna take my back. Go back. So, as soon as he get here,
I need to turn, but look, I need to hide my back and
put my shoulders on the mat. You see, like against the mat, okay? So that way I'm defending my back. The same time I'm putting
him on guard, okay? So you cannot, some people they do it, but sometimes they don't do really well, 'cause when they turn, they know they need to do this to roll, but they expose their back. Now they wanna roll, but roll and get the seatbelt, and when I roll, he's gonna
fall, and then he's on my back, so I cannot have my
opponent touching his chest against my back, okay? So, as soon as I feel like
he's about to go for my back, I need to slide my shoulders and my back against the mat, okay? At the same time I'm lifting my hips.
That's why it require a little bit of mobility and flexibility
to do this move, okay? Because as I roll back, he's
capable to do that, okay? So if you're not very flexible, you're gonna be one of those that you turn and then do this first, okay? And then from here, you need to deal with
this right now, okay? But if you're more flexible, you'll be able to turn, but look, taking the hip out, but look
at my shoulders and my back, it's not against his chest,
it's against the mat, okay? And then I start sliding
to recover the guard and then making my grips, okay? So option one, he's gonna pass, okay? I gotta start like turning outside, and then immediately hiding my back, protecting my back using the
floor, recovering the guard.
Option two, he's gonna pass my guard, I'll sit up, and I'll
work with baby hooks. I can go with the bottom leg in, or the top leg in, it really depends. Or both legs in, it really
depends what I'm gonna do, but one of them, one of the
legs needs to be inside. If it's this one here, probably I'll go more for like 50/50, you know, to control my opponent. If I go with the top
leg in, like this one, probably I'll work more on the X guard, it's gonna be more like an X guard, like when I recover, okay? Or, I can go, like I said, I can go with my foot across
all the way to the other side, here, okay? So that way, if he tries to run that way, so he's against my foot here, okay? And then I put him between my legs. And if he passes this
way, if he goes this way, then I can go back to the roll, I just gotta play with that, okay? So he passes, immediately roll, okay? Even if he doesn't put weight on you, you just throw the leg to this side, immediately like this, roll like this.
This is the best way for you to defend the guard pass, okay? 'Cause if he go to my
side, and I go, like ah, I need to face him, he's
gonna pass my guard, okay? So take advantage of facing this way, immediately recover the guard, okay? If he's really close, like a leg drag, frame, hook, now you're here. You can go this way, and then go to 50/50 if you want, or go for X guard here. There's a lot of things
you can do from here; sweep, scrambles to the back, okay? Or the top leg, X guard. Okay? So let's play with these two options. One, elevate the hip; two, elevate the shoulder. If you elevate the shoulder, you need to find space
to work with your hooks. If you lift your hip, you need to immediately
put the back of your neck and your shoulders on the mat, so the mat will be like a
shield behind your back, it will protect you, and your
opponent will be like, ah! There's no space to
attack your back, okay? Any questions? – Sir?
– Yes.
– [Student] Let's say that
the guy you let trap you, he's really nice, tight into you, where do you prefer to frame? On the collar, shoulder, face? – I don't have much time to
get grips sometimes, you know, I just frame, you know, and
then I grab the material. So I don't looking for like grabbing the thumb
inside his collar, you know, so with this, it can be really fast. And actually the second
option would be very useful if he's really heavy on your hip. How I'm gonna turn my hip? How I'm gonna elevate my hip? All his weight is on my hip, and he knows that it's
important to control my hip, so you need to frame here, I just frame, and then if I end up like
having the thumb inside, great. If not, it's fine to
grab it here like this. – [Student] So inside, not the
opposite side you're framing? – Yes, inside, not, like this? – [Student] Yes.
– Yeah, you can. But this is more like,
if I try to go here, and he's already really close, maybe he's gonna end up like
blocking my frame, okay? So when he comes, I'll
frame no matter what, I'm not looking for this. You know. because now his head is, my forearm is no longer
under his neck, okay? So I prefer to be here. Look. More weight he put on me he's feeling like an Ezekiel choke right here. Now I sit, elbow escape, hook. Then, boom. Defend, okay? So the second option is more
like when he's really tight, really, really tight. And you need the frame. 'Cause if you don't build
the frame, you can't sit up. Let's say for land is here already. I can't sit up. okay? So that's why you need
to immediately build the frame as soon as he get on your side.
So you got the leg drag here. I'm like this. And then, boom. okay? You all right? Or he's just a little bit far. Like you got, here's him. I start. Putting like the guard like
this, you know, if anymore. But if I feel like he's really heavy, I'm fine to lift my head. I need to go here. okay? So only like, if you're stiff,
but also if he is really, really heavy, you got to use the shoulder. And when I sit up. Look at the detail here, when I sit up here, I don't escape my hips. I use my elbow.
See, I don't try to bring my butt to my elbow. I just do like a pull up. Like I use the floor to bring
my butt to my elbow, you know? So that way, look. I got the space with the bottom leg, look. If I keep my, my butt far from my elbow, it's hard to get this hook here. Keep your leg very close. See, but now if I do this,
I use my weight to here too. On the leg too.
And then, you got here. And then here. Now I need to be careful on
letting my opponent put the knee on the floor because I'm in trouble here. I need to do my best to make
sure I hook right close to his ankle. Try to put your knee on the floor. If I hook here, he's going to, boom, put your elbow on the floor
but make sure you're here. And then you see, and then it started building
the frames and you can start, tapping free. okay? Get to work. 1, 2, 3.
(instructor clapping) I want to tell you here, so, we'll all look at the leg drag. Let's say he's really
tied to close to me here. I got the frame. Okay? Remember when I get the frame. If he goes away from me, go away from me, I don't follow him. okay? I come here. Come close. Boom, frame. So you build like a wall. okay? But in all, like in touch, because if I'm here and he
goes away, I extend my arm. If I keep on him, now,
more like an armory.
Okay? I need to always be like this. And usually when he goes away from me, it's going to be easy for me
to just escape on the inside, just like this. And
then recover the guard. So he wants to keep close. So just make sure, like,
if it feels like, oh, he's getting choked. He goes away for you. You extend like this.
You gotta be careful. okay? Especially if you're
going against one arm. So, you gonna go here. All right. – [Student 2] No, not
with me, that's not me. (laughter) – Harmonization,
harmonization's do that too So what you do here? okay? So when I sit up, I
showed you the detail of using your elbow and your leg. To make your hip, like lighter so it can get the hook. okay? But another detail here,
your hook is not here.
If you make the hook here
t's going to be cutting in and can't get out. okay? So, my hook is here
right on his joint. okay? Right here. Right on his knee. And now I bring my knee to my chest and then I kick the leg here. Okay? Look, you know why I'm doing this? Look, the legs are right on top of my arm. okay? Look, the difference. I see some of your doing this. Try to scoop the leg under. okay? So if you do that,
you're not using your frames. Okay? And also, it's going to be so hard for
me to under hook his leg, look at the difference.
Okay? Now put your knee on the floor. Oh, he's going to kill me. Okay, he's going to pass my guard. So I go here, I go 1, 2, bring him, knees to my chest. Look, now I kick the leg here. The leg is already on top of my hand. Now I go with my forearm, my bicep. okay? And forearm, elbow,
right behind his ankle. All right put your knee on the floor. It's hard. okay? At the same time I'm hooking here, I'm pushing his leg here. Okay? I cannot bring this into my chest. 'Cause then he's gonna, okay? So it's like, I build
a tension here, push the leg. That's on top of his leg and pull the ankle. Okay? Try to try to go that way, you can't. In the meantime, I start
going for re-bars or 50/50. Right. And then I started
working from here.
Okay? So just the additional details. Yeah. We got to drill a little bit more. Okay. So you've got it on the side. He got really close, elbow, escape, hook. Bring my knees to my chest, control, tension. Okay? And also here,
when I go for 50/50, too, or for a waiter. 'Cause there's
a waiter sweep here as well. I make sure I put this frame here as well. Like this. I make a frame on his belly. 'Cause now I put the weight on me. Look, I have a frame. If I keep here, is on the leg drag. Okay? So you do the tension,
sweep our hips, frame. Now you're here. Now you frame, now you here.
So you always, you see… I always want to end
up on top of my frames. especially on my legs,
especially with my legs. Okay? Good. When I get here,
first one, frame the arm. Once I build the frame on my, on the leg, I want to keep him on the leg because my leg is stronger
than my arms. okay? Now I can start working. To counter, so you end right. Okay? So just think about, the frame.
You guys are doing really good with this. Escape, right? But when you hook, don't hook
the ankle, hook the knee. And then when you hook, bring
your knee to your chest. Okay? You can also do a double hook. Some people have short legs
or they're more flexible. So I go, double hooks like
this, and then the difference you're going to be here.
Okay? Go back. Or if you go, with the hook all
the way across on this side, try to go to my back. He can't right, he's going to go this way. What I do. I go back to the first one. Okay? Sometimes if people hug my back here. I make this hook and I
pull around like this. 'Cause if I go that way, it's
not going to go to my back. For example, if he's going to
try to come up the other way. And they start, I put him
on guard and then I attack. Triangles, no. Yes. Yeah. – [Student] Is that considered
a leg hold or an arch hold? – It depends. It really depends. Yeah. Like, let's say,
if my turtle ends here, if I stand up and I go fast. You see I take it; but if my turtle ends here, three seconds.
Right. And then I go here, and he
touch my leg, ah, take down. Okay? And then in training
you make your own rules. (laughter) Yes. – [Student 3] Yeah. I see
the detail for each top leg. For your top leg, when your top leg is one on each side, do you need to lead first with the top leg on the inside? Or is it signaling against? – Oh, like when you do double. Yes. So. When I'm here, you know, like I need more space for the top leg. And I feel like it's hard for me.
To get this, but it's so much easier for
me to disconnect my hamstring from him to get my hook here. To raise it for me. okay? But you know, if I, if
I do like a nice escape, I can swing my leg right inside, I need to go around his
shin, here at an angle. Don't try to go here. Like on the thigh, you know? Make sure you circle your leg. So when you're here, you find
the space, now you circle. Really quick, see? Like this. Okay? So don't go like, okay? Yeah. All right let's practice
a little bit more. Let's go. 1, 2, 3.
(instructor clapping).
