Hip Frame Concept | Leg Drag Pass

Understanding the hip frame concept in the Leg Drag Pass involves focusing on key details to prevent the pass and retain guard.

1. When the opponent initiates the Leg Drag Pass, your legs will be facing away, making it difficult to maintain guard.
2. To counter, you must square up to your opponent. Without leverage, you need to create it by framing against the opponent.
3. Use one hand to frame against the opponent while preventing your hips from turning inwards.
4. Utilize your leg to elevate your hips and maintain a C-grip on your leg to assist in this elevation.
5. As the opponent moves towards your leg, use your framing to follow their movement, making it challenging for them to stabilize the position.
6. Keep your knee from touching the ground to avoid the opponent solidifying their control.
7. Push against the opponent slightly with your other leg to further elevate your hips off the ground.
8. Switch your hips to the other side, creating space to bring your leg back and regain control.
9. Timing is crucial; frame and lift your hips before the opponent progresses towards your legs, giving you extra seconds to replace the guard.
10. As the opponent drags, frame to prevent the drag, push on their biceps, and replace the guard.

Proper framing and hip elevation are essential to counter the Leg Drag Pass and recover guard position.
