The Rat Guard - V.O.W. BJJ

[@peteramarillo8952]

It's almost like the buggy choke

[@rudysoto7743]

Oh yes. When I dropped in for a visit, Ryan caught me in the rat guard and submitted me. I didn't even see it coming. I just remember thinking "what black magic did I just get hit with?" LOL. Good stuff guys!!

[@gregeaster3335]

you guys should make more videos, the creativity of no gi BJJ is awesome.

[@JBDacasinJr]

Similar squeeze mechanics to the buggy choke from side ctrl bottom.

[@JSMinstantcoaching]

Love this guard eager to test it, new sub

Very cool! Been looking for some new options from guard

[@choccymilk8845]

Mans really gonna do a low-key seminar. I got long arms and legs so all I can say is thank you.

[@VOWBJJ]

Thank YOU for watching! Please share if you can.

[@focusflow82]

Excellent! Tnx

[@radicalmma]

Awesome stuff!!! Love that this guard is growing in use. Let me know if you ever want to discuss techniques. - Rene Dreifuss

[@rottingshark1]

Sherdog turned me onto your vid’s of this guard awhile back. Staple part of my closed guard! Great stuff.

[@radicalmma]

@@rottingshark1 Fantastic! I didn’t know Sherdog did a thing on my guard work. I have some new stuff from the position now as I did those videos about 10 years ago.

[@rottingshark1]

@@radicalmmaif I remember correctly, I believe the user Gambledub did a break down on the guard using gifs and most of those were from your early videos you did on the system. I laughed when I recently saw the ruotolo’s buggy choke, that’s now become famous, and recognized it as the same mechanic as your ghost choke. That choke is one of the few things that works against someone hunkered down and stalling in my closed guard!

[@ReneADreifuss]

@@rottingshark1 oh thanks so much. I didn't know Gambledub did a breakdown. I agree that this is a great option.

[@nysurdatu5012]

[@Trephining]

Good stuff. Not everybody can make a video close to twenty minutes long that is wall-to-wall dynamite content. Very well done!

[@VOWBJJ]

Thank you! Please help us by sharing with your friend :)

[@Thelastronin357]

Would love a video on how you can work rat guard into Williams guard etc..

[@oliversmith4028]

If you KZbin rat guard the guy that invented it like ten years ago showed that

[@ungorilaenrd]

awesome!!!!!

[@mayatiita1]

That was brilliant 😊👍🏻❤️ I need this to win the Absolute Division

[@escapetheratrace4798]

Love seeing these gaurd variations. Would love to see striking from the bottom while controlling your opponents posture

[@radicalmma]

I strike often from the position, mostly with heel of the palm strikes

[@alvarocorral1576]

I dig it..

[@808BJJ_Black_Belt]

Wow!!!!

[@BigBadTheno]

When going for the hip bump before grabbing rat guard, have you ever had to deal with a guy grabbing your base arm and pulling behind your back? We call it a five-o grip, not sure if you call it the same

[@VOWBJJ]

Yes! It’s a thing, which is why it’s important to base out and hip bump in one quick and aggressive motion.

[@haizee2330]

My favourite pass in no gi! 5 0 grip and slowly walk around and out of their guard

[@4amwaj]

sick

[@calbaking]

mega video

[@OwDoRegularDave]

So is the finish the rat choke?

[@ЕгорСавицкий-й3щ]

Your wears is the same colours. It is so hard to wieve the wonderful technics

[@sebas666chulo]

Would this be legal in bjj competition (the first submission)?

[@thibaud9269]

It is treated like an arm triangle I guess so not for kids/infant. For youth I am not sure, but from 16 yo it is fine. (AJP rules, Idk about IBJJF)

[@ps3ud0nym]

What’s the deciding factor when choosing between Guillotine and 100%?

[@BJones24]

💪🏼👊🏼

[@jonjackson8811]

Come on. That's not a guard.
