Passing The Lasso Guard is a 4-part series where Marcos Tinoco breaks down one of his favorite positions and teaches you how to DESTROY it! Tinoco, a Marcelo Garcia Black Belt, is a MASTER of the Lasso Guard. Lasso Guard is one of the trickiest guards in all of Jiu-Jitsu. A strong Lasso can offer constant threats of sweeps and submissions. Thankfully, this time Tinoco sets his sights on flipping the script and dismantling the Lasso Guard!

This allows Marcos to share insight on unseen details that can be hard to teach. Sometimes small aspects like weight distribution can make a major difference in how well certain techniques work. Passing The Lasso Guard starts off with looking at some of these easy-to-miss details that Marcos has an immense understanding of because of his experience with the Lasso. These key concepts make the guard player have a much more difficult time setting up the Lasso Guard. 

With a weak set up, passing the Lasso becomes much more manageable. If you have ever used the Lasso Guard you know that you can off-balance your opponent and control them fairly easily. Tinoco changes this by making each aspect of the opposition’s Lasso Guard weaker. This makes finishing a passing sequence as simple as following Tinoco’s easy-to-follow system.

Another critical aspect that MUST be addressed when passing the Lasso Guard, and that is the ability to shutdown hybrid style Lasso Guards like the Spider Lasso. The Spider Lasso weaves a hard to pass web that can tangle even the best guard passers. Marcos teaches you tried and true methods to not only manage the position and avoid sweeps, but how to dismantle it with unique passes like the ‘head drop pass’. On top of that you will be equipped with Skill Specific drills that will help hone the necessary steps to tame the Spider Lasso!
