Passing the guard in Jiu-Jitsu – whether it be with the gi, no-gi, or even MMA, can one of the toughest goals to acheive but it is also one of the most ESSENTIAL skills to have. Any jiu-jitsu fighter knows the being in someone else’s guard, especially some skilled at sweeps and submissions from guard, is a dangerous place. The goal of the person fighting in top guard needs to be PASSING. Along the way to passing the guard, you need to focus on defending a variety of different submission attempts and sweep attempts.
The biggest problem most people face or most beginners face is their posture in guard. Beginners have a tendency to lean to far forward, put their legs too close together, extend themselves, etc. When you are in top guard, you should have you knees touching the outside of their hips, you’re hands on their hips keeping them down, and you should be sitting on your heels (preferably with your the tops of your feet flat against the mat.) From this position is where you BEGIN to pass. But being in good posture allows you to defend better against submissions and sweeps.
If you are standing in guard, the way you attack is different. First you need to get control of your opponents legs and use your legs, especially your knee, to control their movement and position. Your forward knee should be pressuring into the back of your opponents knee. You want to create pressure and minimize their movement. From you begin to pass.
