Rico recalls the techniques that helped him win his 2 brown belt world titles. He explains that as your opponent gets more advanced, they will often break a grip and not let you control both sleeves to play a traditional spider guard. In this case, use the cross lapel and work a modified classic open guard to attack with the triangle, omoplata, or the tripod sweep.Add to Favorites 1673 Remove From Favorites 3989 days ago
Rico teaches his favorite combinations that he used to win many of his matches to become the purple belt world champ. Rico began to encounter people who would sit back on their knees to keep their hips low to the ground. As it is very difficult to get underneath your opponent when they are on their knees, he began using the scissor sweep and omoplata combination to attack his opponents from the spider guard. The strength of this combination comes from the action reaction principle of jiu jitsu. If your opponent leans back, sweep them with the scissor guard. As they push forward to defend against the sweep, transition into the omoplata, using your opponent's momentum against them to strengthen your next attack.Add to Favorites 2120 Remove From Favorites 3990 days ago
