You're on bottom half guard. Opponent has an underhook and heavy chest pressure, trying to pass. You need to recover guard. What’s your move?
I’ll push them away with my hands and pull my knee through to get back to full guard.
Good: Correct goal—recover guard. Needs Work: Pushing with hands won’t beat their leverage. Better Approach: Fight for your own underhook or frame, then use a knee shield or butterfly hook to create space before pulling your trapped leg free.
You’re in high mount. Opponent keeps elbows tight and chin tucked. You want a submission. What’s your plan?
I’ll grab their arm and fall back for an armbar.
Good: Armbar from mount is a strong attack. Needs Work: Tight elbows mean you can’t just grab the arm. Better Approach: Threaten a choke to force their hands up, then isolate an arm. Use gift wrap or arm-triangle setups before transitioning to the armbar.
You’re in bottom half guard with an underhook. Opponent is applying shoulder pressure and trying to flatten you. You see a sweep opportunity. What’s your sequence?
I’ll frame, bridge, and go for an old school sweep.
Good: Framing, bridging, and looking for a sweep is correct. Needs Work: Timing is key—bridging alone may not force a reaction. Better Approach: Use your underhook to come up on your side. When they post to stop your bridge, trap their posting arm and hook their far leg with your trapped leg to hit the old school sweep. If they step forward, transition to a back take.
You have side control. Opponent is framing against your neck and hip, trying to create space. You want to keep control. What should you focus on?
I’ll just hold tight and squeeze them so they can’t move.
Good: You understand you need to maintain control. Needs Work: Squeezing wastes energy and doesn’t stop proper frames. Better Approach: Block their hip with your knee and use crossface pressure. Control inside space with your arm to kill their frames before advancing.
You have back control with seatbelt grip. Opponent is defending their neck with both hands. You need to set up a choke. How do you proceed?
I’ll try to peel their hands off and go straight for the choke.
Good: You’re thinking about clearing their defenses. Needs Work: Forcing hands off directly rarely works. Better Approach: Attack their hands with two-on-one control or trap an arm with your leg. Use distraction (body triangle squeeze, collar feed) to open the neck before sliding in your choking hand.
You’re stuck in closed guard. Opponent controls your collar and sleeve, threatening submissions. You need to pass safely. What’s your sequence?
I’ll stand up quickly and do a toreando pass.
Good: Standing is a solid first step. Needs Work: Toreando usually comes after opening guard. Standing carelessly risks sweeps and submissions. Better Approach: First posture and break grips. Stand carefully, open guard with proper hand placement, then transition to a pass (knee cut, over-under, toreando) based on their reaction.
