Techniques:
1. Getting to Cross-guard from Close Guard: Tinguinha does it a little different then what I’ve seen before, he moves his hips out and places a foot on his opponent’s hip bone to create the space, then he moves his hips out again and under-hooks his opponent’s leg to pull himself towards his opponent. He shows a second variation if his opponent is really close to him in his close guard. This variation Tinguinha places his foot on the mat instead of the hip bone to create the space.
2. Cross-guard control when your opponent has one leg up: I haven’t seen this set up before; he uses the cross-guard against an opponent who has his front leg up and between my legs, and is also sitting back on his back leg which is bent on the mat (military position).
3. Cross-guard control when your opponent is standing: He shows two controls positions from here, one I’ve used before and the other is very similar to De La Riva Guard. The first options I can see would flow nicely when the opponent moves from one leg up to standing. The placement of your feet would still be the same.
4. Cross-guard control while dropping the leg: this is a very interesting control position, he switches his hand from outside on your opponent’s ankle to the inside while dropping his leg to the outside so he can grab his own ankle.
5. Combination of all of the control positions: Here he shows the flow between each control positions; I find this to be very helpful so that you understand the concept of each position and how they work together.
6. Getting to Cross-guard position when both are standing: He starts standing then controls the sleeve has he goes to the ground, he basically end up in the same control position as if your opponent is still standing and you’re in cross-guard. It’s pretty easy set up.
7. Cross-guard drills: First drill is similar to the spinning arm-lock drill, where you switch from side to side raising your hips. Second drill you do the same motion as the last drill but this time you continue going over you shoulder and plant both knees on the mat. Third drill is a solo drill with you back on the mat and your feet on a wall.
8. OmoPlata from Cross-guard: He starts from close guards then progress to cross-guard and then demonstrates the OmoPlata from here. He shows it different then I’ve seen it done, but it does appear to be a better, easier, and faster set up.
9. Leg over shoulder sweep: This is one of the first sweeps I learn in Cross-guard. If your opponent keeps his elbow in,you wont be able to get the OmoPlata, so just transition with the same movement to the over the shoulder sweep and you will end with your back towards your opponent with his arm between your legs with sleeve control.
10. Transition from leg over sweep to OmoPlata: After you do the over the shoulder sweep you can continue to roll over your shoulder for the OmoPlata. He breaks this move down in fine detail. It’s a great combination.
11. Leg over shoulder to OmoPlata: He goes for the sweep but his opponent bases out so that he can’t finish, he then rolls back forward for the OmoPlata.
12. Armbar from the Cross-guard: This move seems to be high percentage. He really breaks this move down and I can’t wait to try it in the gym.
13. Triangle from Cross-guard: He does this move when his opponent starts to open his closed guard, it appears to me it’s not really a Cross-guard technique but rather an option to use when your opponent opens your close guard, from this point you just transition to open guard.
14. Sweep while Opponent has one knee inside: This sweep is very similar to the over the shoulder sweep, except for your opponent is very tight and it’s hard to get your cross leg over his back. It also is done when your opponent is passing your close guard.
15. Fake sweep to OmoPlata: This is a continuation from the last move. It is done when your opponent is just about to do the knee over pass and you don’t have the hip power to do the sweep. Instead you try the sweep to get your opponent to react and then go for the OmoPlata.
16. Cross-Guard sweep to knee bar: He does this sweep to knee bar when his opponent is try to do the leg under pass. After watching this I can’t wait to try it on the mat. Even if you miss the knee bar you will be in side mount anyways so you still have a dominate position.
17. Reverse Helicopter sweep: He does this sweep when his opponent has open his closed guard and has one knee up in the middle, but his opponent isn’t really driving forward. The sweep is really cool and I would love to add it to my open guard game. Once again not a real cross-guard technique but rather and open guard technique.
18. OmoPlata while opponent is standing: He starts in close guard and then his opponent stand to open his guard. He opens his legs as he grabs the cross grip and arm around the ankle. He uses both hands to control the sleeve. This is a very GI oriented technique because you need the sleeve to control your opponent.
19. Rolling OmoPlata sweep while trapping the arm and leg: This technique is performed when your opponent counters the last move by placing his knee on your chest. You just sweep your opponent by rolling to your side.
20. Over the shoulder ankle sweep while opponent is standing: He starts in close guard and then his opponent stand. He does the sweep when the opponent keeps his elbow in. I’ve seen this on Fabio Gurgel’s DVD as well. It’s a good sweep when some tries to do a standing pass on you.
21. Sweep to knee bar while your opponent is standing: Amazing, I love this sweep. Again he starts in close guard and his opponent stands to pass. His opponent then moves one leg back. The motion is very fluid and the knee bar is right there for the taking.
22. Sweep while your opponent is standing: Interesting and high percentage sweep. It continues from the last technique and is an option for you if you don’t or can’t go for the knee bar because your opponent is driving his knee forward.
23. Arm-bar while trapping the leg: A different take on the classic arm-bar from closed guard. You control the same side sleeve with your hand and then instead of using his other hand to go underneath the opposite side leg to help you spin, he uses the far hand to grab under his opponent and trap the leg on the same side of the arm you are going to arm bar. By doing this, he sweeps his opponent to his back so he can easily finish the arm-bar.
24. Trapping the leg sweep to mount: Same position as the last technique except for that his opponent is defending the arm well so he just does the sweep and ends in the mounts position.
