Passing X-Guard
I’ve been running into a problem passing X-Guard and wanted to get some feedback.
Experience Level: Purple belt
Position: Opponent playing standard X-Guard
Problem: When I try to step my trapped leg free, my opponent off-balances me and either sweeps or transitions into single leg X.
What I’m currently doing:
• Trying to control the top leg with my hands
• Attempting to step my free leg back to create base
• Looking to clear the hook and move into a headquarters-style position
Question:
Is the key here more about controlling their top leg, or should I be focusing on changing my angle before trying to free the leg?
Curious how others prefer to approach X-Guard passing.
