The Teteu Guard. It’s like a hybrid single leg x guard mixed with a lapel guard. Imagine single leg x and worm guard met at a bar and had a drunken one-nighter. Then boom, 9 month later the Teteu Guard was born. But daddy wormguard ran off and single leg X had to raise the baby guard all alone. So while there is definitely a large lapel guard genetic component, the behavior and execution of the Teteu Guard is mostly similar to that of single leg x.

Last week @bjjstarsoficial, after a nice start with some head control and smash passing pressure, I was unexpectedly bumped over while trying to pass to mount. The situation went from great to “oh shit” in just 2 seconds. I had to setup the @teteubjj guard on my right side to prevent my opponent from returning the smashy smash favor. This guard effectively mitigates the top player’s ability to put pressure on the guard player while also making it super easy to off balance them. However, keeping them down while untangling yourself to come on top is a bit more tricky. I’m still trying to work through the kinks to make this a smoother transition.

After a few incomplete sweep attempts, my opponent escaped the position but also allowed me to setup the exact same guard on the other side which actually turned out to be a better sweeping side for me.

After and sweep and some more smash passing, I got bumped again while attempting a pass to mount, again. 🤦🏼♂️ I closed the guard and setup the wormoplata variation of the gubber guard. From there I was able to force the forward roll sweep. Had I stayed on top I would have setup the monoplata, but my opponent used the transition momentum to force me to roll back to omoplata control.
