What Will You Learn?
Passing a seated guard from your feet is one of the most frustrating problems in grappling, and few coaches have built a clearer system for solving it than Heath Pedigo.
Heath Pedigo earned his black belt under Rodrigo Vaghi and runs Pedigo Submission Fighting out of a former laundromat in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. The team, better known as Daisy Fresh, was the subject of a FloGrappling docuseries and has won the novice division team title at the IBJJF Pan Championship. Now he's sharing the standing passing system he teaches his own students.
In The Standing Passing System: 30 Day Curriculum, Pedigo starts with the details most people skip: distance management, hand fighting, paw passing, balance and posture, and the angles that off balance a seated opponent. From there he builds the passes: the standing knee tap pass, forcing a front headlock, the underhook pass, the reverse body lock, the superior knee cut, guard spins and the bench press sniper. This isn't just a guard passing course, it's a 30 day curriculum with drills and games that turn each piece into something you can use in live rounds.
Whether you're a white belt who gets stuck in front of every seated guard or an experienced grappler who wants a cleaner top game, the standing passing system serves as a complete plan for what to do from your feet, from the first hand fight to getting behind your opponent.
The system works because it doesn't depend on your opponent making a mistake. You learn to manage distance, win the hand fight and lift the head to break their structure, so you create your own openings. You also learn how to shut down inverted leglock attacks and replace the head lift with your knee, so you keep passing when the guard player fights back.
If you've ever wondered why some passers seem to walk around the legs while you keep getting tangled up, the answer is in the details Pedigo teaches here: distance, posture, hand fighting and knowing when to commit to the pass.
Learn how to pass the seated guard from standing with the system Heath Pedigo teaches at Daisy Fresh.
