Thank you sir

[@luc.barone]

Thanks for share the details!

[@danbourbeau4203]

great vid, really good instruction on this technique!

[@SalmanKhan-rz3mc]

Excellent video....well demonstrated

[@markb3451]

Great video, I lived in lasso as a blue belt. Still one of my favorite guards.

[@lancechicote7287]

got lasso sweep today in rolls, still practicing the triangle ... such a good feeling... pretty sure i rewatched this 10x ... oosss!

[@aquadockemi100]

Many thanks.

[@basedvato]

I hit this sweep all the time, thanks for some additional details. I’m going to work on getting some of those triangles. I find not many people play lasso which makes it a bitch for people to get out of once your locked in.

[@ZombieProofBJJ]

Some great stuff here 🤙🏻

[@BecauseJitsu]

Zombies beware 👌

[@stevebrannon2630]

I landed the levitation sweep into the slicer in class today. Good stuff!!

[@BecauseJitsu]

Hey ooooh!! That's awesome, dude 🤙It's my highest percentage sweep from Lasso 🙌💯

[@christopherpakney8542]

@@BecauseJitsu Once I have the deep lasso, its about 75%. I'm a one trick pony, but this trick works nearly every time.

[@Poopnoodle36]

Found this video from the Instagram page. Awesome stuff thanks for the knowledge!

[@BecauseJitsu]

Happy to help 🤙

[@MindTrigger]

Cool

[@brookechildress1751]

Good

[@strayholograma]

Great memes, awesome instruction! Love me some Lasso :)

[@strayholograma]

Also, will the second sweep you show, the tilt pant grab sweep, work if the opponent is standing? Thanks

[@BecauseJitsu]

That will depend on if it is close to your hips or not. Sometimes it will be out of range. But, if it's essentially in the same place as the combat base version I showed, it will work. You'll really need to emphasize the weight you place on their lassoed arm when they're standing to Ge them to tumble over. Think of trying to pull their arm to the ground beside them to get that tilt. 🤙🤙

[@strayholograma]

@@BecauseJitsu Oh, wow. Great in-depth explanation! The tip on trying to pull their arm to the ground beside them is gold. Thanks a lot! P.S. If you could share some more lasso content, it would be great! All the best and keep on memeing in the jits world.

[@mesleyraves9983]

Awesome, thank you. I've been struggling to do anything with lasso besides a pendulum sweep.

[@BecauseJitsu]

Hopefully it bumps up your successes from it! It's been a saving grace for me since purple.

[@mesleyraves9983]

@@BecauseJitsu Extending the leg really helped securing the lasso tonight. Can I make a request? I'm the smallest guy at my school (160lbs) and everyone there is 200lbs or more. I have a lot of success being quicker in scrambles and positioning, but there is this one guy who is so freaking strong I feel like I cant really do anything. Any advice for the little weak guy?

[@BecauseJitsu]

@@mesleyraves9983 I know them feels. I'm a lightweight too. About 165. To survive against thicc bois, your going to need to focus on framing on the bottom as well as staying mobile until you're were you wanna be. There are a couple videos on this channel that can help flesh that out. One called Stop Getting Squished and one called Improve Your Guard Retention.

[@mesleyraves9983]

@@BecauseJitsu Great, thank you!!!

[@LIONTAMER3D]

i use the lasso in conjunction with other guards: lasso on one side, butterfly hook & under hook on the other side; lasso & opposite side rdlr. it's mad style points if you can dlr the leg on the same side while holding lasso with the same leg, borderline disrespectful sweep lol

[@SantiagOFyspittiNgO]

YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN

[@christopherpakney8542]

When I started BJJ I was 6'6" 195 lbs and have rubber guard flexibility. My Coach taught me lasso and spider within my first 2 months and once I figured out how to not get stacked and smash passed, my guard became super frustrating for most. Long legs and arms, lanky and flexible, I could even stall a few purple belts out even as a white belt with a good lasso. Of course once I tried to transition, they countered and proceeded to demolish me for my impudence, but that's the game. About 8 months in we had a seminar and the other guys asked the Professor how to deal with Lasso. He taught them all the counters that threw a wrench into my game big time. But I moved a few weeks later, and at the new gym none of those guys had seen my game so the lasso was back on. Moves and counters. How about a video on how to counter their defenses? ;)

[@Danlovestrivium]

Very wise. The key that I took away from this is that whenever your training partners begin to figure out all of your moves, switch gyms. Beautiful, champ. I'll start looking today! Oss!

[@schrecksales8872]

How do prevent getting ankle locked?

[@garrydye2394]

Good video but as you stated...you can't do the bicep slicer unless you are brown belt or above in IBJJF but no brown belt or above is going to fall for the bicep slicer. So ends up being one of those moves you can get on a few white belts when they don't know enough to not walk around your guard while in Lasso.

[@tommym321]

Garry Dye if your opponent won’t walk around your guard, you can also arch into them to bump them back slightly, then you rotate your own body and put yourself in the exact same position as if the opponent had put himself there.

[@christopherpakney8542]

@@tommym321 Or when they stand, transition to DLR.

[@ATLFUNKCARTEL]

I dk if you know this but it’s lasso not lassu lol

[@internetpeople1064]

My .02 cents, sometimes you can bait your opponent into lasso if they attempt a standing straight ankle lock and you grip their sleeve and push your foot through like you're putting on the boot. Great details otherwise.

[@Vengeance888]

The slicer techniques doesn’t make common sense because in reality the guy will just punch the shit out of ur face
