Passing the lasso guard
Andrew Wiltse teaches how to pass the lasso guard, focusing on breaking the opponent’s control and advancing to a dominant position. Key details include, winning the grip fight, stripping the lasso hook, maintaining strong posture, and using pressure and movement to systematically dismantle the guard and complete the pass. A nice little trick is flaring your thumb outside of the opponent’s hand during the grip fight to gain more control, as the one who controls the outside of the grip is winning the grip fight.
