Rico Vieira Competition Techniques 6 - Black Belt Champ Techniques, Z Guard Knee Shield to Rollover Sweep or Omoplata and Butterfly Guard Concepts and Options

Add to Favorites Remove From Favorites 2105 3722 days ago

Rico explains how to control the distance and attack your opponent from the z guard or half guard knee shield position with the rollover sweep or omoplata. Afterwards he explains that he switches between the knee shield, spider guard, butterfly guard, and classic open depending on the distance as well as whether his opponent is standing or on their knees. If your opponent is on both knees, a half spider or butterfly guard may make more sense while a classic open, spider guard, or de la riva guard will work more effectively against a standing opponent.
