BJJ Journal ~ Breaking the full guard

Breaking someones closed guard, begins with maintaining a strong base. 

Place palm on opponents diaphragm and maintain constant pressure. With the other hand grab GI trouser at hip flexor and dig the same side elbow into their thigh, while the opposite knee stays outside their hip.

Now with the elbow digging in, slide the same side leg back to break the guard. If needed, move from elbow to hand on the inside of the knee and push it to the mat, at the same time shuffle step and staple  their leg to mat. 

Choose the pass.

BJJ Journal

Breaking the guard - 2 on 1 Russian tie. Control opponent with 2 on 1 at his elbow and wrist, and pin him to the ground with it. While driving into him, walk him all the way up to top of his back, and get your hips under his. Move from 2-1 to double cliff hanger, then lift opponent off the ground. Break the guard by stepping back and pushing the knee out. Pinch one of the opponents legs, the side you want to pass. Let go of the arm and move to same side collar. Side hop, forehead driving into sternum and back step over into side control.

"The Flats"

Late season deer. "The Flats" a plateau over looking a lake. A square patch of doug firs bordered a meadow with young reprod. On the edge of the meadow in the timber, i encountered 21 deer in 5 days (3 bucks). "Mount Sinaloa" - Big bruiser track in the snow, trail led from saddle to clear cut. I think this was the buck that made those two rub lines. 2 mikes off the trail in the Sinaloa mountains, I hung a tree stand and trail cam for next season. I'm hoping to find a monster buck or bull somewhere in the dark timber.
