Adults: Passing Part 3 – End Goals

I’m going to be drilling these concepts into your heads, and then we’re going to work them into a framework, from where we can then begin to pass. We’re going to start from the concepts, but we’re going to apply them practically to show them in use. Sometimes concepts, without examples, can be difficult to grasp. So, the framework is this.

1. Control and get past the feet. Those are our entries.
2. Control the kneeline. This is our staging position. From here, we can back out to control the feet again, transition to other staging positions, or finish our pass to get to our end goal.
3. Transition to upper-body control. This is our end goal.
4. And finally, secure the position. So, controlling the position at our end goal.

Today, we’re going to be working on our end goal positions. So, these are the positions we are attempting to get to from our staging positions.

With these positions, we are looking to control 2 out of 3 pieces of our opponent’s body, specifically:

1. Head
2. Shoulders
3. Hips

So, we can control:

1. Head and shoulders
2. Head and hips
3. Shoulders and hips

We’re going to be working through these quickly, and we’re going to work on transitions between them.

The positions for controlling the head and shoulders are:

1. Kesa Gatame.
2. High Side Control.
3. High Mount.
