So You Wanna Be a Guard Puller...

A crash course into the realm of guard pulling for competition in the Gi. I don't really mind someone opting to pull guard. It has its place in BJJ, and any rule adjustments I would make to the sport would still allow for guard pulling. With that said, if you're going to pull guard, you should at least do it correctly. Too many people pull from a mile away with the foot fully extended on the hip, or try to just sit backwards and pull their opponent on top of them. Hopefully this short video will give an idea of how to avoid that.

I love that Bird is “talking” to us via graphics while Andrew is explaining and demonstrating 😆

It’s actually a great trick to keep us engaged in the material instead of just zoning out.

Pulling guard to play guard: lame. Pulling right into a sweep or sub: ninja! Love this

[@Zach_Jitsu_Shaw]

This was amazing! You two are incredible! I’ve just seen things that I’m totally doing wrong and now hope to fix thanks to this video…. Thanks so much guys!

I'm waiting for that wiltse wrestling instructional more than I'm waiting for this Ramadan to end 😩😩😩 BTW great content as always, you and your brother are a blessing for the jiujitsu community

I really wish I watched this BEFORE my first BJJ tournament this past weekend. My opponent's guard pulling and my failure to react properly cost me a win, but gained alot of experience. Thank you Wiltse bros for this.

[@SalRashiq]

Andrew out here preaching guard pulling sounds like a recovering neo nazi: “look I made some comments in the earlier part of my life I don’t stand by anymore. I met some guard pullers and I saw they were just like me, really allowed me to leave my D1 wrestling armband behind”

[@WiltseBrothers]

Guard pullers are people, just like you and me.

[@wcbjj7780]

Thank you for this. Great stuff!

[@Shaka_Garami]

Hey Andrew, something that I was wondering while watching this - is there a difference between gi and no-gi in terms of reaching with the lead hand to establish grips? Or is it just to do with being in an open stance (orthodox vs southpaw for lack of better terms)? I was always under the impression that it was not ideal to reach with the lead hand and this exposes the leg for singles, etc. Appreciate the amazing content as always boys! 🙏🏼

[@WiltseBrothers]

Theoretically its the same, but functionally its not. The moment you make contact with a collar, you can generally stop a lot of forward momentum without risking it slipping over their shoulder or getting popped off. This isn't really true for No Gi, as a collar grip in No Gi is a exchanged for a collar tie. Also, notice I don't reach out slowly while standing up. I close distance, in a stance and ready to shoot, then I shoot my hand out. Its fast, precise, and something I've actually taken the time to practice.

[@Shaka_Garami]

[@johnkutz2729]

Do yourselves a favour and watch some of the guard pulls at .25 speed. See exactly where Andrew’s grip and foot placements are and it’s funny as fuck to hear Andrew talk at .25 speed 😂

[@alexH712]

I learned the other day that the black belt with a white patch on it signifies a black belt athlete that only competes and doesn't teach. Conversely a black belt with a red patch indicates a professor - someone who teaches jiujitsu. With the quality of the content and instructionals that the wiltse's put out for free, i think Andrew is wearing the wrong kind of black belt.

[@WiltseBrothers]

I appreciate that, but I truly do not give a fuck about gi or belt color in any way. I'm literally incapable of caring because it's very unimportant. ❤️

[@JSMinstantcoaching]

@@WiltseBrothers I would love to know your opinion about black belts that would say they can't learn anything from inferior belts, why is that in your opinion?

[@WiltseBrothers]

@@JSMinstantcoaching I mean, that's on paper stupid and egotistical

[@alexH712]

@@WiltseBrothers oh of course man, i just noticed the belt and the above comment came to my head, and it felt like a bit of a clever, if maybe cringy, way of expressing appreciation

[@gardennovice7896]

I’ve been watching your brother and your videos recently. I really enjoy you guys videos and have learned a lot. It would be awesome if I could attend one of you guys seminars one day. That would be an awesome goal to have met one of my 4 jiujitsu heroes before I am no longer around. Keep up the awesome work sir!

[@ramirolopez3029]

Could u do one of these for no gi?

[@mcslammer4989]

Sweet bro, even though I’ve done gi strictly for bout a a year only recently have I been getting a sense on when to wrestle when to pull based on the grips. But then my pulls were shit so then my opponent, if decent, completely dictates the pace as I hope to get a lasso to reset. hopefully I can sent some fuckers flying with what you’ve shared! 🙌

[@PeterChanJr]

can you do one of these for NOGI!

[@relativisticvel]

Your guard pull looks halfway to a tomorrow nage, why not go the whole way?… or am I misunderstanding?

[@Spawnkiller711]

You mentioned the end of the shoulder. Can you explain how to keep someone’s arms on the end of the their shoulders?

[@WiltseBrothers]

Keep them straight and force them to circle instead of move towards you
