Sprawl Pass to Eagle Claw

Gary Berger — Wed, 26 Jan 2022 15:30:01 +0000

The Eagle Claw is probably my most used passing technique these days. It’s easy to grab, but hard to break. I’m not the only one who does this of course. In the past weekend, you could see young champion Tye Ruotolo using the eagle claw constantly while passing the guard.

Why does it work so well? Because when you grip the ankle with the eagle claw, you place your thumb behind their leg by their achilles. This makes breaking the grip hard, as everyone wants to kick forward and not backwards. Plus, by kicking backwards, they open their guard even more.

As a result, you get a rock solid grip that allows you spread them out to pass. For the very wirey and flexible people, you can even lift with the eagle claw, which will turn their hips away from you and give you the pass too.

Russian Arm Drag to Eagle Claw Pass

Gary Berger — Thu, 01 Nov 2018 18:30:01 +0000

My friend Kit Dale has been showing a lot of techniques using a variety of Russian 2 on 1 grips, so I figured I would show a simple one you could use from your feet and tie it into a guard pass.

This Russian Arm Drag is similar to your conventional arm drag, but in reverse hand positions. It lends well into a shot. In this case I went with a head inside single leg and flowed into what I call the Eagle Claw.

This grip allows you to control your opponent’s ankle with ease, and lends to a strong passing position. Most people never grip this way, so if you learn this tip you will be ahead of the curve. Check it out!
