The Importance Of Framing By Alec Baulding: 

What Will You Learn?

One of the most difficult realities to grasp for people beginning Jiu-Jitsu is that you have to be able to fight off of your back. The Guard has revolutionized fighting, in that it can give a smaller less athletic person a chance to not only survive but THRIVE!

BUT keeping your guard can be quite the endeavor! Far too often the Guard Passer is able to secure grips, and proceed with their pass. Why is passing so effective?

Passing the guard has several advantages. One is that gravity is on the passer’s side! A good passer knows how to use this knowledge to smother your guard until they eventually slip to a more dominant position. Another advantage is it can be easier for the Guard Passer to create tempo with movement. A standing passer has enhanced mobility by staying on their feet. Causing misdirection with movement can create disaster for the guard player. So how can we keep our guard?

Enter Alec Baulding. FINALLY an athlete captures the crucial details to STOPPING the pass, and KEEPING the guard! Watching someone retain the guard can look like a confusing scramble. In that mayhem there are multiple micro battles that are taking place. Alec breaks down these battles into smaller, coherent techniques that ANYONE can perform.
