This video I discuss the concepts of how I go about shutting down the open guard. I categorize Passing Open Guard into two different aspects, One is passing before your opponent has established any particular grips or guards on you, and the second is learning how to shut down each individual guard separately. It’s important to learn how to pass and become comfortable in many different Open Guard positions because the reality is you will often not be able to pass before the establish at least one grip. Let me know your thoughts on which positions are giving you the hardest time.
