"...Little detail created by John Danaher..." Renzo gave credit to his student. The legend basically admits that he also learns from his student. Renzo is a true legend...

Amen brother. Even black belts can learn from white belts. BJJ continues to evolve.

Royce showed this same pass, with the foot detail, way back in the late 90's early 2000's. Eventually all techniques come full circle.

[@somewheredec]

I've seen catch techniques for breaking guard that look very similar as well, but once the knee was across they went for a underhook on the head probably without a gi it's much harder to hold him down without collars.

[@jayboi7565]

ive seen this before but totally forgot when i was playing in a high level guard

[@didiervidry7687]

Merci.

[@s216674]

Very cool video, thanks for posting this. I wonder about your opponent having the ability to thread their arm through your right leg since it is so far forward and that arm is not being controlled. I am sure that Master Renzo has an answer for that, but it would be interesting to see it. Thanks again!

[@dakotaeldridge7369]

My thoughts exactly

[@CyberwaveOrchestra]

He explained it i think

Renzo the man

[@marcelotavaresdemello5155]

Renzo, sou faixa-preta do Marcos Schubert. Tenho usado essa passagem com sucesso contra adversários do mesmo peso que eu. Porém, contra os mais pesados tenho sido raspado de omoplata quando eles trocam a pegada e lançam minha perna. Qual ajuste posso faze para evitar que isso aconteça?

[@socomchamp00]

when i learned this guard break my teacher had us pin the arm on the same side we put our leg up first so the opponent couldnt underhook the leg and sweep to the side, Renzo doesn't seem to be worried about this. Is he doing something different to prevent the underhook of the leg that im not seeing or is he attempting to get up quickly does the underhook wont matter?

[@retardno002]

Yes, he said you need to lift the knee that corresponds to your straightened arm. You only expose yourself if you lift the other leg first. It's funny to see how these little details that Renzo mentions are completely absent from other people's guard break/pass tutorials, even the newer videos by Rickson don't seem to take all these variables into consideration. I'm a huge Rickson fan since he's the first BJJ player I ever heard of and what got me into BJJ, but his tutorials seem half-assed.

[@ChinoV]

@@retardno002 thanks for sharing your input. I was curious how Rickson’s instructional is with his invisible JJ. Curious if Henry Akin’s instructional‘s are similar. I’ve been seeing a lot of advertisement for Henry Aiken and his Rickson JJ.

[@retardno002]

@@ChinoV I didn't buy any instructionals from Rickson or Henry but from what I've seen on KZbin it looks like Henry is the more articulate instructor. I guess with Rickson you really need to feel it in person to get the magic.

[@ChinoV]

@@retardno002 I’ve seen some of Henry’s video clips, and he does articulate some details, but thought Rickson would have some additional details. Guess you do have to feel it for yourself. Thanks for the reply 🤙🏼

[@marvinyayu9187]

Good technique by henzino

[@jhunter2662]

the MOMENT i stand that one leg up my opponent automatically goes to sweep me. am I supposed to move quickly or just continue to post if he bridges me?

[@Seegie16]

If your hips beat his hips he has nothing and he will actually help you pass if he tries it. Think about the mini battles within each position. If you win most min battles youll win overall

[@carzoparazzo9698]

This is not 1+1 =2. The techniques needs time to undertand and even more time to master it. Beside you need to adapt it to you.

[@JickFincter]

There is a more detailed version of this technique that even gets you to side mount afterwards. You are supposed to control collar with one hand hip with the other. You have to make sure you aren't leaned over you wanna stay postured up pretty good not putting a lot of weight on him or leaning into him. Do this while keeping him more to the right, get that tension in your arm get your grips right where he wont move around too much. Now that he's not moving a whole lot your other leg should be pretty far back. check the position at 2:29 does it look like a sweep is open? Remember he shouldn't be able to get to his side because your collar control.

[@Diogo9151]

[@IVIastodon]

3:11 is the best part...he addresses the risk

[@jacobberg4007]

But what if the opponent grabs your foot as soon as you place it forward?

[@peafowl7567]

Jacob Berg If you drill it and get quick with the pass it won‘t matter.!

[@MrSinusu]

Also, for every move you make, your oppenent has a remedy, if he is knowledgeable enough. Still, however, his perpendicular and squatting posture seems to be a good preemptive measure for your opponent's heel grabbing. You will be allright and have an ample time to go over to another move, before he can do anything with your heel, also whatever happens, you are out of his closed guard and that was the main theme of this clip.

[@carzoparazzo9698]

if you pay attention he is on side and when he put his first leg up he twist his hip for a reason

[@MrJonathanhidalgo365]

100% dude shit happeneds all the times

[@iagobrollo9498]

Se não segurar a mão do oponente a primeira coisa que ele vai fazer é abraçar a sua perna assim que vc levantar ela e te raspar

Não entendi a parte do braço ... Alguém pode me ajudar ?

[@cinimatics]

Aight...i like that

[@ninjamaster7724]

When you go sideways while you're still in their guard,wouldn't it be easy for them to sweep you?

[@prandz420]

Ninjamaster77 very difficult to sweep someone if you can’t break their posture (arm position and angle prevents this). I’m assuming you are thinking of sweeping to the side of the close knee, most sweeps are shut down by not being able to get posture and the pendulum/flower sweep is shut down by not being able to underhook the far leg or create an angle due to the arm blocking them

[@BiggieSmalls946]

If he used his opposite leg, it's easy to get knocked off balance n get swept. With tht leg hes kinda driving his leg into his hip on a anglr which is breaking his guard and it's harder to sweep on the same side he's got the arm cuz it's a strong posture

[@seanreed9472]

No, as noted, just keep posture.

[@isaaccox737]

3:13 People have actually done this to me when trying this pass and swept me. What is he doing that prevents his opponent from doing this?

[@AlexWehpunkt]

I think it's a mix of different things: 1. He pins the shoulder with his knee 2. His heel points away from his opponent 3. His weight is on that foot / knee In my understanding, to sweep someone from there, you have to get the foot across your upper body or at least away from the ground. All these three points together will prevent that I think. Hope that helped, feel free to ask more precisely on more occuring problems
