All right. Hey guys. So, today we're
going to be going over the guard passing
infinity gauntlet, which is not a video
I necessarily wanted to make, but I got
a lot of people asking about this cuz I
mentioned it in a YouTube video when I
was in Phuket recently. And essentially
what this is, it's not like it's
basically what in my mind I think of as
all the guard passing styles that you
kind of need to be good at to have very
like complete passing in the sense where
you have all the Infinity Stones and the
Infinity Gauntlet. So, broadly, if Fabia
doesn't mind going to his back, the way
I'm thinking about this is they're going
to be passes where you're inside your
partner's legs without upper body
connection. So, that's going to be split
squat, headquarters, and similar
variations to this. Then, you're going
to have passes where you have control of
your partner's upper body, whether that
be half guard, chest to chest, tripod,
etc., etc. So these are generally passes
that are going to be performed when
you're in front of your partner and
depending on the degree in which your
partner is like fighting this. Often
what they can do to make these things
difficult is by bringing their knees to
their chest. So what knees to chest is
going to do is they're going to make it
a lot harder for me to get control of
his upper body. However, what this is
going to enable me to do is actually
because now because eventually these are
very connected in terms of like going
through the guard to then controlling
the shoulders, right? because often
that's the path you're gonna have to
take. But I in my mind I think of them
as two different passing styles to be
good at because obviously you can go
through the guard but then eventually
start moving outside. But when I notice
my partner starts looking to bring their
knees to their chest depends on the
degree in which their heels are away
from their butt. This is going to
indicate to me am I going to kind of go
under the legs or am I going to go
outside the legs when their heels are
very close to their butt. Not to say
these are like heruristics. They're not
absolute rules because if their heels
are close to their butt, I can go under
the legs in some sense where I'm going
for this over under. But then I also
think this is a variation. It's almost
in my mind a mix of under the legs and
in between the legs, which these are
just like a this is like a rough mental
model. It's not like these are rules,
right? So obviously there's going to be
a lot of gray area. But when I find that
their heels are close to their butt,
this is where I find it easy to actually
start flanking my partner because when
their knees are close to their chest and
their heels are close to their butt, any
connection that they have on me isn't
really going to limit my movement,
right? I'm going to be able to move side
to side, even like anything you have
here, if you're retracted, I can
basically come to the outside quite
easily, which then leads into this kind
of outside passing. In terms of outside
passing, I think there are two types of
passing you have to be good at. one
where you're perpendicular to a partner.
So this is Jpoint. And the other is when
you're parallel to your partner, which
is going to be north south. So for me
personally, what I'm working on now is
actually a lot of north south passing
because I think a lot of opportunities
that you get from a flank have to be
finished with a north south pass, which
is not something I feel very good at. I
do think there are kind of different
skills that are very much complimentary.
So when situations where they're
defending the north south you could
possibly go into a flank and when
they're defending the flank
transitioning to a north south. I think
these are very wise things to do. And
then kind of lastly when if their heels
are like further away from their butt
right like that they're making good
connection to me it's going to make it
harder for me to get outside of his legs
but it's going to make it easier for me
to start looking to go underneath. And
this is when I find transitions to under
the legs passing to be most appropriate
where I'm here. I'm going to be able to
go stack pass, inside mid stack, over
under, double stack, etc., etc. And then
once you feel as though you're losing
this, maybe they're splitting their legs
very wide, maybe they're making it hard
for you to stay underneath, then we can
start once again combining it with maybe
through the legs
from here, like especially from an
overunder, right? From here, often we
can then transition outside the legs,
etc., etc. So,
it it's just like kind of like a one-off
thing I said, but I do think it right
now reflects my understanding of guard
passing and how it kind of interplays.
Obviously, this is subject to change,
but I do think this is a nice way to
think about, okay, what problems do I
have in certain situations and where
might I be able to pivot? This is a
large like something that everyone's
going to have to think about at some
point when working on anything is that
when do I persist and when do I pivot?
Obviously, what I'm talking about now is
very much catered towards pivoting and
switching where it's not necessarily
solving the problem, but it's almost
avoiding the problem where if you're
having a lot of problems from split
squat and you can't break through,
you're actually switching to another
position where they might not
necessarily be able to provide you with
such a problem that you can't solve. So
hopefully that's somewhat of interest to
you guys. Want to just make a video on
