Professor André Gois teaches how to counter a guard pull by going to the side control. André and the opponent are both standing with judo grips, one hand on the collar and the other on the sleeve. The opponent starts to go for a guard pull but on the side he is controlling the collar. As soon as Andrénotices, he moves his hips back, grips the foot that the opponent pulls guard on and pushes it to the side. André maintains the grip on the collar and as soon as he pushes the leg to the side, he moves in to the side control position.
