Baby Guard by Sebastian Curelaru

The passing meta in jiu-jitsu has evolved—split squats, knee-cut hybrids, heavy chest-over-hips pressure, and relentless standing passes dominate at every level. But where most guards collapse under this heat, Sebastian Curelaru’s Baby Guard thrives in it.

  • After years of using this system in high-level training rooms and competition rounds, Sebastian has refined a guard that isn’t just defensive—it’s a weapon.
  • Baby Guard gives you a compact, ultra-stable structure that shuts down elite passing positions while opening up sweeps, back takes, and effortless transitions.
  • Whether you struggle to retain guard against powerful stand-up passers or you want a system that keeps you safe and dangerous when your legs are compressed, Baby Guard offers a unique, pressure-proof solution that works at the highest level.
