Passing guard and sweep revision (diary entry)

  17.08.20 The third hour of my client’s Submission Grappling/Ground-Fighting course went back over the basic sweeps as well as the Kimura arm-lock from guard and passing guard. We began with our normal solo warm-up routine of ground-fighting callisthenics, including some new movements directly related to guard passing. Next the two lockdown partners performed some guard-passing drills before moving onto some resistance work. This took the form of a guard passing game where one had to get past the other’s legs in order to touch their head. They both then went back through the hip bump sweep, the scissor sweep and the Kimura. We then looked at standing up in guard and a simple stacking pass.
