Simple Guard Pull Counters And Adjustments

Our buddy Ricardo from Chile recently sent in a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu related message asking about Guard Pull counters. He said that when people pull Guard on him, it creates a lot of trouble with his BJJ game.

I know that from personal experience as a Guard passer and a person who likes to move when I train or compete in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I don't like being in someone's Full Guard. Full Guard is not a good position for the top person in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Esspecially if you're dealing with a long lanky Guard player. It gives them control and in Brazilian Jiujitsu they are in the offensive position.

In this video I share a few easy to use and super simple Guard Pull Counters.

I don't go into great detail about each counter. Mostly, I did this video to get you to think about options that are possible and options that you can possibly use with your game right now.

So if you're a Guard passer like I am or just hate being stuck inside the Full Guard position after the Guard Pull. Then watch the video and give these counters and adjustments a try.

I hope this video helps!

Just finished me first comp. Got first place very happy about that. But People where pulling guard all over the place. Only 1 out of 6 matches didn't pull. And even though i won those matches. The pulls made my back tired because i had a hard time getting out and not giving away a takedown or sweep. I just kinda muscled myself out of them but had a hard time passing.

[dallashigashigata]

46 & 2 in the background threw me for a second

Also like he does where he pushes on the hip or the stomach when they try to jump that also helps you when guys try to throw you if you block that hip that's one way stop throws also

Can you do video on how to counter someone who sits down kneel down right from start and starts scooting towards, I hate these kind of guys even more than gaurd pullers.

[DelEast]

What about a frame under the chin and drive the frame into the pavement?

[pyeondoche]

What if the opponent shoots the other leg?

[vikingbjj]

He is pulling with the wrong leg on the hip

[eljonnymac]

Really dig your channel. Any thoughts on a good weight training program for bjj? Thanks.

[GamingGoat]

Good video, could you possibly show how to get a triangle from the bottom of side control?

[denisepassos]

Why he’s pulling guard stepping on the hip where he doesn’t have sleeve control? Nobody does that

[Nehauon]

Finally I can punish those old butt scooters!

[mikeyduke]

Its funny i just watched another video and then this one and was like hey i know that guy, the first video was chad as a black belt showing the guard puller passes

[yaraaboumrad]

why is he pulling guard on the same side he is gripping ur collar? no one pulls guard that way u know. pulling guard shoulld be done on the side where ur hand is blocked (his grip on ur hand to immobilize and prevent ur defense) and not on ur collar

[thanoskarathanasopoulos]

46 and 2 in the background


HEY CHEWIE, HOW BOUT THAT NEW TOOL ALBUM?

[deanbean]
