I think I've seen it said of controlling back mount, and possibly of top mount as well.<br /><br />I've not heard passing the guard referred to as a counterpart to escaping mount, though. Interesting: I'll try looking at it that way next time and see if it helps. <br /><br />Preparing the guard passing lesson for this week, I didn't even get very far into the actual passing side of things: I kept coming up with more stuff I could say about posture, breaking grips, how to stand etc. Hopefully it proves helpful to the students. ;)slideyfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374174757753962274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-19938963604408134832011-07-05T11:15:29.623+01:002011-07-05T11:15:29.623+01:00Hmm.

It's interesting what you say about hating passing, because if I remember correctly, you said you felt most at home teaching escapes (if I remember correctly). A long of things clicked for me when I flipped the way I looked at BJJ. To me, passing guard is very similar to escaping mount. The frames and the movement pattern is very similar, but upside down.<br /><br />It'll be very interesting to see what you write about your sessions (from a teaching perspective)Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-19118233558244923712011-07-02T21:31:25.334+01:002011-07-02T21:31:25.334+01:00I absolutely hate passing the guard, so as I plan ...I absolutely hate passing the guard, so as I plan to teach it next week, should prove to be an interesting lesson. ;)<br /><br />Love Cane Prevost's blog, and his thoughts on posture in the guard were handy. As ever, on top of thinking what I normally try in sparring, I'll be researching as much as I can before Thursday (e.g., Beneville book, Xande/Saulo/Roy Dean DVDs, looking back through my training log, etc), so I can pull together a bunch of details which will hopefully prove useful.slideyfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374174757753962274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-51037548402808741022011-07-01T15:19:34.701+01:002011-07-01T15:19:34.701+01:00Thank you for the kind words Jin.

Cane is one of Matt's black belts and his 3P teaching / learning model is the an awesome interpretation of what we learned at Language Teacher Training. But there, they called it the ARC, which stands for Authentic-Restricted-Controlled (degrees of freedom within the drill).Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-45489554432883660782011-07-01T06:48:00.281+01:002011-07-01T06:48:00.281+01:00Ah.
