Marcelo and Marcus help Jon to better understand his technical options for passing against a very strong and flexible Open Guard. You must systematically break your opponent's shell, keeping your weight on top of their frames by driving forward on your toes. Deflect your opponent's attempts to build up any frames against your shoulders; lead with your head to help get yourself close enough for pummeling. You may need to settle for Half Guard against someone good. Winning this position is one way you can separate your opponent's Elbow-Knee connection and begin establishing an offense.
