Getting countered in opponents guard

[spamula]

I am new to BJJ but seem to be getting countered when attacking from the guard. Whats my best strategy just try and pass and mount and or go for foot locks?:confused:

Position before submission!

Pass the guard and work from a better advantage point.

That's ok brother, it happen's. Like you said, your new. Feel them out, don't telegraph what your doing next. Sell one move to set up another & roll, roll, roll. The more mat time you put in, the more efficient you'll become with BJJ.

Pass or get really good at leg locks & heel hooks ;)


Seriously the guys are both right. Work for a better postion and improvement will happen with experience. Also if your partner has been doing it a while ask him... "I feel stuck here what is a good way to pass the guard"


Welcome aboard!

Maybe I should also be sitting up more inside the guard. Also even when I passed the better guys keep there knees up high so I could still not mount or get side control ideas?

Thanks for your help guys! Love the videos on the site, I just bought the works DVD the other day hopefully a new one will be out soon.

If you want to see some hellacious guard passing and mounts watch Sean Sherk vs Hermes Franca..... Unbelievable!

I personally really like lowerbody subs, but passing guard into mount or side control is generally safer
