The rat guard is a closed guard system where the guard player breaks the opponent's posture, secures a necktie and tricep grip, then swings an arm to threaten a guillotine, causing the opponent to press tighter — at which point the guard player grabs the inside of their own hamstring, creating a locked frame that traps the opponent's head under the armpit with legs locked. [1] Created by Rene Dreifuss of Radical MMA NYC, originally designed for MMA and Combat Jiu-Jitsu based on an old judo position Dreifuss learned while training in Japan. [2] Specifically designed to nullify ground-and-pound while maintaining offensive options.

✓Created by Rene Dreifuss, a BJJ instructor based in New York (Radical MMA NYC). Originally designed for MMA and Combat Jiu-Jitsu, based on an old judo position Dreifuss learned while training in Japan. The guard is specifically designed to nullify ground-and-pound while maintaining offensive options. Key attacks include: sit-up sweep to mount, triangle choke, guillotine, and back take. The system requires no special athletic ability or flexibility, making it accessible to all body types and skill levels. The 'rat' name reportedly comes from the sneaky, resourceful nature of the attacks from the position.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
What hand positions should I avoid when in Rat Guard?
Never put your hands flat on the mat—this exposes you to Kimura attacks. Keep your elbows positioned close to your waist rather than high up, as high elbows make you vulnerable to arm bar submissions.
How do I control my opponent's head in Rat Guard?
Drive their head down by taking their shoulder and keeping continuous pressure to break their posture. This positioning keeps them broken and unable to see you, which prevents them from punching effectively.
What submission options do I have from Rat Guard?
The primary option is a triangle choke—if that fails, you can transition to an arm bar by hipping up. If the arm bar doesn't work, make a fist and place it under the elbow to continue applying pressure.
What position should I prevent my opponent from achieving in Rat Guard?
Avoid allowing your opponent to get one leg over your shoulder and one under your arm, as this setup leads directly into triangle submissions.
