Being able to impose a threat on your opponent regardless of their response is the key to a dangerous guard.

JJU 17-09 Knee Slide Pass Block Defense

Add to Favorites 1546 Remove From Favorites 4157 days ago

Xande explains how to defend against the knee slide pass by using your knee shield as a block to recover your guard. The knee slide pass is a very common pass and it's important to understand the core mechanics of the knee shield as it can be applied throughout your jiu jitsu elsewhere. In a sense we can look at our defensive shields in layers. First your opponent must pass your hands and feet, your first layer of defense. Then comes your knees and knee shield. After your knees are defeated, you can use your elbows to frame against your opponent. As a last resort we have our bridging movements (upa or shrimping). Using your knee as a defensive frame is a technique that will be utilized from white to black belt.
