Neck Crank or pass

Apr 19, 2004 12:22

Passing guard.. sometimes it can be so difficult.. Even the breaking of a closed guard can be very hard. Especially with active guard players. Justin is gonna show a submission attempt or a pass that is actually quite effective. I do not think they have allowed this for jiu jitsu competition yet as you can't do neck cranks. Last time I checked at least.

Neck Crank!!!



JB is in my guard. He has tried to create irritation on me by digging his elbows into my thighs while holding posture. I relieve it by placing my hands on his elbows. I could pull the elbows out if I like but, at this point, there is no more irritation.



Justin bases forward and places his hands around the back of my head.



Be careful as this thing fucking hurts. He places his elbows into my chest, pulls his arms towards his chest and sits back. (ideally he wants to get my head as low into his chest as possible while still keeping his elbows deep in my chest.) This is pretty painful so I'm tapping. As you can see.

This can be countered. and if so, then


Now, for me to not tap, I would have to get my hips out and create space. Now, I have to break my guard to do that. And as you can see, I hip out and break my guard and try to get at his arms.



JBizzle knows that I am gonna do this.. or else I'd tap! So he quickly pushes my left knee down to the mat with his right arm. Notice how he keeps the base low and keeps me planted to the mat with his left elbow still close. this prevents me from pulling him or what not and with my knee trapped on the ground, there is no way in hell I'm gonna triangle or amrbar him.



Justin places his right knee over my left thigh and on the mat. Notice how he still keeps his right foot planted on the other side. This prevents me from moving that leg and it is trapped. The concept to passing is: TRAP A LEG AND PASS ON THAT SIDE. Justin is doing just that. Notice how he also works my left hand to prevent me from defending against this pass. Of course in a real situation things might happen but if you work slow and just keep to the basics, you'll eventually have total control.



Justin brings his left leg back and traps the same leg the same way. This is so he can now totally free his right leg and continue to pass.. He keeps his base low on me. well, it could be lower but, yeah, you get the point.



He moves his right leg near my head first and THEN he removes his left leg from the trapped leg and continues to get into the cross mount that he has. STEP BY STEP! DO NOT PASS WITH BOTH FEET AT THE SAME TIME!! MAINTAIN CONTROL OF A SIDE AND THEN PASS LEG BY LEG.

So there you go. A fairly simple guard pass. OR sub if you are lucky.
