Guard Pass Using C Grips Continuation Variation (Intermediate)

Coach Ezekiel Zimmer demonstrates a follow up to the outside guard pass, focusing on finishing the half guard pass with overwhelming pressure. The core of the technique is applying intense shoulder pressure to the opponent's chin, forcing their head to turn and their back to stay flat on the mat. The goal is to make the opponent so uncomfortable they give up the pass. A key detail is using a tripod base to drive forward. A variation is shown where Ezekiel punches through and grabs the opponent's armpit, creating forward pressure that frees a hand to help clear the opponent's legs. The technique emphasizes patience, maintaining pressure, and keeping the opponent's back flat to the mat.
