HQ Passing (Upper Body)

Outlier Mat Minute: HQ Passing (Upper Body)

Last time, we focused on the lower body battle from HQ. Today, let’s talk about the upper body.

• Right arm - Assuming our right leg is inside, our right arm will have 3 primary functions:

  • Break the grip on your ankle

  • Anchor yourself - I like using this inside bicep tie I stole from Craig Jones

  • Keep the guard player flat on their back

• Left Arm - Assuming our right leg is inside, our left arm will have 2 primary functions:

  • Remove the posting arm

  • Disrupt the alignment of their knee in our chest

As promised, jiu-jitsu insights in under 1 minute!

P.S. I break down both the upper and lower body battles from HQ in this exclusive video. Watch it here!
