   Passing the guard …
   Passing the guard right after your left knee goes up and you put two arms under to wrap their legs is very tough on a decent opponent! I tried this method on someone squat and strong and usually ended up having to just scramble to side control after breaking their guard open. Other times I only succeeded in putting myself into a triangle choke.

   It’s a good roll to drill though. At the moment, to pass guard I like to use the same knee/leg position and hip turning, but put two arms over and push the bottom of their rib cage away, and when they go to fend try a wristlock. That method of course has its own set of risks as well. I’ll have to practice the one shown here and see if I can make it work. I’m sure I’m missing something big. I just started and have many classes to go; maybe we will cover this one in detail at some point.

   As you could …
   As you could imagine the opponent will not allow you to move them as simply as the demonstration shows (you see how the guy in the video just decides to lift his knees up at 2:03 when BJ puts his own left knee up) — for me, as you go to pull them in they flatten their legs a little to loose your grip, then if you go to climb over to mount they raise their legs again, you can end up back in fullguard — you really have to get your chest against the back of their thighs to end this stalemate.

    I just realized that the passing the guard @ 1:56 BJ/anyone is susceptable to an armbar attempt keeping the arm that far away from the hips. anyone else agree? his legs are broken from the closed but he can swing right leg over his head.

    not a chance. his elbow is to far away. the guy on bottom would have to pull bj’s elbow up to his chest area to have a deep armbar.

    i see what you mean re the arm bar, the japs don’t mind squeezing the shit out of your arms at crazy angles… Might work better in a Gi though?

    You are suseptable to armbars when you breakbut thats why you drop your elbow below thier legs but keep hold of the pants. It might not make sense written, I’d show u if I could

    isn’t that also why he’s got his knee in the guys butt (at 1:56). it keeps the bottom guy from getting in close with his hips

    @Prodigysportsman, …
    @Prodigysportsman, You actually are correct, but if you notice, this is a basic course to get beginners into the hang of things, hence BJJ 101. If you notice, pretty much every move can be countered, but learning each move first is crucial to progressing.

    when you have the guy in mount’s arm and are getting ready to roll him, should you get your right leg round his right leg?

    Yeah. Hook the leg on the side you’re rolling to keep them from basing out with that leg.

    I’m not criticizing as I’m new at this, but I had some questions. What’s your opinion (after breaking out of the guard) about turning your leg out (so that the foot is parallel to his shoulders) to avoid him hooking your leg? Is it that important?
    Also, I heard it’s dangerous to grab at the shoulder when passing the guard to get into a side mount because you can get rolled over. How do you keep your balance during a transition?
