[The first systematic instructional video in Japan!]
A body lock pass that completely shuts down an impregnable guard expert

■ Kenta Iwamoto (IGLOO)
He started practicing Jiu-Jitsu when he entered Waseda University. He won the 2018 All Japan No-Gi Championship, beating the favorite to win despite it being his no-gi debut match. The following year, he won the open weight class, becoming unbeaten in Japan. He then switched to being a no-gi specialist grappler, which is rare in Japan, and became a world-class athlete.
He will represent Asia and Oceania at the ADCC (2019, 2022), which will determine the world's best grappler.


■Innovative aspects of this instruction manual: What is a body lock pass?

The body lock is the basis of grappling and is used as part of various techniques. The "body lock pass" is a technique that uses the body lock to block the opponent on the bottom and pass them.

This is one of the newly developed guard passes in the rapidly evolving world of grappling techniques.

There are no systematic instructional videos in Japan, so this is the best way to learn body lock at the moment. The techniques in this tutorial will amaze not only beginners but also intermediate and advanced players.


■Highlights of this tutorial

If the opponent on the bottom has good footwork or raises his upper body and puts his hands out, you may want to get close and try to pass the ball without any offensive moves.

However, don't you think your opponent often has their feet pulled back into a closed guard, or has their shoulder or neck targeted for submissions?

On the other hand, let's think about it from the bottom's perspective.
・I can't release the arm of the person who has tied my legs together
・If you are pinned down by an advanced player, you won't be able to move a muscle.

Don't you think this type of offense and defense is a physical issue?
There's a big oversight lurking here.

The range of motion of the body varies greatly depending on the position of the two, the inclination of the body, and the difference in center of gravity.

Until now, there have been few instructional videos that touch on the details of body lock, and there are not many gym instructors who can explain it logically.


■What you will learn in this video

Control at the relay points determines the success or failure of the pass guard.

Iwamoto defines the point of entry as "halfway between the opponent's legs and half guard," but the body lock passes covered in this manual are quite broad.

This manual covers the techniques required for many guard passes other than the body lock pass.

For example, we will introduce a must-see technique for those who have trouble losing their weight when removing their leg from half guard.

Other topics covered include how to avoid a butterfly hook, how to deal with a knee shield, and how to control an opponent who has raised their upper body. In addition, techniques to prevent being thrown back after a successful pass are also introduced.

It can also be used in conjunction with other passing cards such as loose passes, over-unders, and smash passes, and by adding the body lock pass to your attacking moves, your chances of success in guarding passes will increase dramatically.

We hope you will use this newly organized body lock pass to improve your grappling skills.


■Target audience for this video
1. No-gi, grappling athletes (beginner to intermediate/advanced)
②Ju-jitsu athletes aiming for intermediate to advanced level
If you are wearing a gi, it is not easy to perform a toreador, leg drag, or knee slice against an opponent who is good at turning the legs. If you are aiming for intermediate or advanced level, the body lock pass will be a powerful weapon.
