Frame And Reguard

According to Andre Galvao, the foot and shin are the first and most important frames your opponent will use to block you during guard passing—they'll try to hook your hips or place their leg to stop your advance. Additionally, once you get past the lower frame, your opponent will build an outside frame by bringing their leg over to push you away.

Andre Galvao emphasizes positioning yourself between the thigh and upper arm by underhooking the arm and placing your head below and behind the tricep—this eliminates their frame and gives you access to mount or the back without resistance. You must also control or defeat the shin frame by maintaining pressure on top of it, which is why techniques like the lahiva hook and headquarters position are effective.

Andre Galvao recommends sliding toward the side of the shin to escape the leg trap rather than fighting it head-on. Once your foot escapes and your opponent faces away from you, the frame becomes much easier to control, and you can transition into a leg drag without dealing with the inside frame anymore.

Andre Galvao stresses that you must use your own frames against your opponent's frames throughout the pass—use knee cuts, shin slides, and control the collar and pants to limit their ability to establish frames. When you underhook and get on the side, you eliminate their inside frame and control their positioning before they can build an effective outside frame.

The Frame And Reguard subfamily covers side control escapes that use defensive frames to create space, then leverage that space to reinsert the legs and recover a guard position. The frame and reguard approach focuses on incremental space creation through proper frame placement, followed by the critical step of reguarding before the opponent can collapse the space.

The frame and reguard from side control became the primary side control escape methodology in modern BJJ, emphasising the combination of skeletal framing and hip movement over explosive reversals. It is now the most commonly taught side control escape approach.

Unified MMA: разрешён — Legal defensive technique; IBJJF: разрешён — Legal — escapes and sweeps are fundamental to BJJ, sweep from bottom scores 2…; IJF: разрешён — Legal; ADCC: разрешён — Legal, sweep scores 2 points (4 from mount/back); FIAS Sport Sambo: разрешён — Legal; FIAS Combat Sambo: разрешён — Legal

Оценка опасности 3/10. Moderate — bottom escapes from mount/side control; bridge and hip escape mechanics (Ribeiro 2008)

Стандартная цепочка подготовки: Create Space → Disrupt Control → Execute Escape → Recover Position.

Стандартные контрприёмы: Heavy Hips — maintain low hip pressure and wide base to absorb the bridge / Grapevine — hook legs inside opponent's thighs to neutralize hip movement / Post Hand — post arm on the mat in the direction of the bridge to maintain balance.

Распространённые варианты: Shrimp to guard (framing and hip-escaping to recover full guard or half guard); Underhook escape (winning the underhook and coming to knees or reversing); Bridge to knees (bridging into the opponent and transitioning to turtle or…); Ghost escape (inverting under the opponent to re-guard from the opposit…).

Used in BJJ and MMA competition at all levels.

Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Framing too far from the body — keep frames close and structural; extended frames are weak / Not using the forearm (using hands instead) — forearms provide rigid, sustainable frames / Shrimping without framing — the frame creates the space that the shrimp expands / Only shrimping once — multiple shrimps are often required.
