• Archive: The guard is the most complex part of BJJ.
• If you do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but you don’t have a reliable, powerful and effective guard then you’re in deep, deep trouble.Bottom line… No guard equals no BJJ.The problem is that in BJJ most of the time the guard is a super-confusing position.
• There are so many unconnected techniques and seemingly endless scenarios.In a typical class an instructor might teach a series of isolated techniques: ‘Here’s a sweep from the closed guard… a choke from the half guard… a guard pass prevention technique…’ Nothing’s connected; all you have are some individual techniques that sometimes work and sometimes don’t work, without an overall framework to link all the pieces together.To be really effective at the guard – to have a guard you can rely on when the chips are down – you need a predictable, surefire system, not a bunch of individual techniques.So what we’re going to give you is a plug and play system showing you exactly what to do from the guard and when to do it.This gameplan is going to be for the Spider Guard, which is perhaps the most dominant form of guard in modern jiu-jitsu.The Spider Guard is undeniably effective.
• If you go and watch any high level BJJ competition you’ll see the Spider Guard being used with devastating results.
• You’ll see the Spider Guard being used to sweep huge opponents, set up devastating submissions like triangle chokes, omoplatas, armlocks and leglocks, and to thwart the guard passing attempts of some of the best competitors in the world.It’s versatile, it’s surprising, and it’s also incredibly frustrating for your opponents.
