Alliance super-heavy black belt world champion Bernardo Faria is back on the mats in New York City at Marcelo Garcia’s Academy. The deep half guard lover is known for his sweeps and guard passes from the double-under position.

Here, he shows how to initiate such a position right when an opponent pulls guard. He dives into the position and then proceeds to secure an advantageous position immediately. From there, he passes the guard in a very efficient way using pressure and consistency.

Few guard passes are as classic and effective as the stack, a technique that even Anderson Silva makes sure to practice, as you can see in the photo above, taken by Gustavo Aragão.

Useful both in and out of the gi, the stack was also used to good effect by Xande Ribeiro in the World No-Gi Championship final against guard-specialist Leandro Lo.

So what do you do when someone pressures you like the aforementioned Xande and Anderson do? Today GRACIEMAG.com has a remedy for this problem for you.

Rule number one in keeping from getting stacked is to keep your hips flush up against the ground.

But how do you do that? Rodrigo Cavaca explains it.

“When your hips are on the mat, the opponent can’t come up with the room he needs. So what I do is sink a grip on each of his sleeves and push backwards so he can’t get his hands together to stack me,” says the coach for team CheckMat.

“When the opponent makes it to a position from which he can stack me, I grab his gi and start shrimping out my hips until I’ve got both feet on the ground. After that, I grab his belt with my left hand. I post on my right hand so I can draw in my hips and sit. I use my left arm to put pressure on the opponent’s shoulder and keep him from posturing up,” says Cavaca.

“I reach my right hand under his arm to grab the lapel on the opposite side. After that, I bring in my right elbow and move out my hip until I’ve got room enough to stick a hook in under his leg. With the hook and my arm holding the belt, I tip him over for the sweep. Then I release the grips and mount,” said the man who gave Marcus Bochecha his black belt in conclusion.

Recent UFC signing Milton Vieira will be making his promotional debut on the 23rd of June at UFC Rio 3, taking on fellow countryman Felipe Sertanejo. The BTT black belt renowned for his precision arm triangle took some time out of his training to demonstrate exclusively for GRACIEMAG.com readers a move that works both in MMA and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu.

The trick is to control the legs when passing, preventing the opponent from moving. After that it’s up to you, you can attack one ankle or two.

And don’t forget, for your safety, only practice this move under the supervision of a qualified Jiu-Jitsu instructor.
