Do you use the same passing method

For gi and no gi or do you have different guard passes you like to play.

 

Butterfly for instance is one of the trickiest guards to deal with do you approach it in the same manner? 

Some crossover but pant grips really change a lot

Same for both. I don't have the time to spend on two different approaches.

Different with a lot of the same elements.

My passes tend to be easy/lazy passes. Really going to knuckle down on low guard passing this year. 

Yes.

Yes, if the grip changes are minimal. Double under, over\under, leg drag, knee slice I play both. Long step and torreando just don't nearly as well without gi grips. I find knee shield half guard passing to be much more difficult without the gi.

I am overly dependant on pant grips for passing. Something I am trying to work on.

You guys pass the guard...?

I just squeeze the other guy's head until the round ends. -Sometimes they even tap! Not often.

Works for me.

I usually try to pass but this one old dude wrapped his legs completly around me one time and locked them together. He wouldnt even let me try to pass. Next time I am going to try to grab his head like you say.  Thanks!

Not sure but it wasnt very fun. I want to roll with someone who is going to do jiu-jitsu with me.

When a dude wraps his legs around me like that, I usually just squeeze his head EXTRA hard. I squeezed this one dude’s head SO hard a couple months back, I actually fainted.

-Bet you money HE felt that the next day. Squeeze was LEGIT.

But, you know… mess with the bull, you get the horns.

yes every pass is a double under or over under gi or no gi. Im all about smashing my crotch on your face till you let me by lol

cheesesteak - yes every pass is a double under or over under gi or no gi. Im all about smashing my crotch on your face till you let me by lol

I think you have that backwards buddy

Same, with minimal grip changes

Why do you mock?  If they can’t tap me and I squeeze the bejeezus out of their head and neck then fuck’em. They should learned takedown skills and gotten top position (where I’d still squeeze the fuck outta their head)

Like my tattoo says: “Tap, nap, snap or head squeeze… it’s all the same to me”.

Cody? Lol

Yes.  I pass the same.  I try to get deep into the guard and kiss my opponent.  Sometimes they tap out.  Sometimes they are into it.  Either way, I win.
