From there he gives you a separate plan for the classical jiu jitsu player, the classical wrestler or MMA fighter, and the scrimmage wrestler, each from seated and supine guard. This isn't just a guard passing course, it's a complete control-based strategy for beating opponents who are faster and more athletic than you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhether you're an older grappler or someone who simply doesn't want to win scrambles with speed, the idea of negating movement serves as the foundation for everything you do on top. You'll learn when to feint, when to flank, when to backtrack, and why inside camping becomes your home base against the most mobile opponents.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis works because it doesn't depend on being the better athlete. Instead of chasing your opponent's movement, you take it away one option at a time with down block hands, head height, shoulder and hip control, and combinations that make their responses predictable. The result is a passing game that holds up against people who are younger, quicker, and more explosive than you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you've ever wondered how elite grapplers stay calm on top while their opponent tries to spin, invert, and scramble out of every position, this course shows you the system behind it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLearn how to control the movement game, take away your opponent's options, and pass with structure instead of speed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Exactly Do You Get?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePart 1: Control Game vs Movement Game\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Game vs Movement Game\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYounger vs Older Grapplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower to Weight vs Overall Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMastering Movement and Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplying Movement and Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Directional vs Three Directional Guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Levels of Sophistication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTactics Questions and Assessments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMapping Movements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePart 2: Mechanisms of Control\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGravity and Body Weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHierarchy of Control Based Passing Positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanisms of Control-Half Guard Chest to Chest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanisms of Control–Body Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanisms of Control–Half Guard on Frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanisms of Control-Stack Passing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanisms of Control Outside\/North South Camping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Big Three\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolidify a Cranial Shift Before Passing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverview\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePart 3: The Classical Jiu Jitsu Player, Seated Guard\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntro to Approaching a Classical Jiu Jitsu Player-Seated Guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown Block Hand -
