Outside Camping - Far Leg

Outlier Mat Minute: Outside Camping - Far Leg

When we’re outside camping, the guard player’s far leg can do two main things:

• Connect to our Lead Side (Scissor Guard): This sets us up for the cross scoop grip that we can use to pass the guard.

  • Cross scoop grip to counter high leg

  • Cross scoop grip guard pass to north south

  • Cross scoop grip duck under guard pass

• Connect to our Trail Side (Lasso): To pass from a lasso, we can switch sides or keep going to the same side.

  • Switch sides

  • Craig continues to the same side stacking the guard player

  • Craig continues to the same side with a weave pass

• Turn away: If we can expose the outside of the guard player’s near leg, we can force them to turn away to prevent the high leg or lasso all together.
