スタンダードチルドッグ(Sutandādo Chiru Doggu)
TransliterationTranslation: standard chill dog
The Standard Chill Dog establishes the intermediate rubber guard position with the shin pulled over the opponent's shoulder, the arm threaded through the leg triangle, and the guard player controlling the position while setting up gogoplata, omoplata, or triangle transitions. [1] The standard chill dog builds on Mission Control by adding arm threading that creates a tighter control and more direct submission pathways. [1],[2] It requires the guard player to maintain the flexible leg position while executing the arm thread. [2],[3]

The knee pinch and keeping your knees in tight is the most important part—if you do this strongly and repeatedly, there's not much your opponent can do. Marshall Stamper emphasizes constantly attacking the hands, pinching, and pulling while sitting up.
Start with your knee up and across, then use the kung fu move to get your hand to the other side: slice your wrist on your toenails, push your opponent's face, and come under your ankle. Readjust back on your hip and pinch your knees to secure the position.
Don't let your opponent sit in a relaxed position, as this creates trouble and gives them more movement options to pass your leg. Keep constant pressure with your knees and control.

The standard chill dog is the base version of the chill dog position in the 10th Planet rubber guard system, developed by Eddie Bravo as part of his systematic approach to no-gi guard play. It is taught as an intermediate position in the rubber guard curriculum.
IBJJF: legal — Legal — guard is fundamental to BJJ, sweeps from guard score 2 points; IJF: restricted — Guard pulling penalized as non-combativity — groundwork from guard permitted …; ADCC: legal — Legal, guard pull penalized -1 point in points portion; Unified MMA: legal — Legal — no penalty for playing guard; FIAS Sport Sambo: legal — Legal
Danger rating 2/10. Low — guard positions are defensive; injury risk comes from transitions, not the position itself
The standard setup chain: Achieve Guard Contact → Control Grips → Manage Distance → Threaten Submissions/Sweeps.
Standard counters include: Guard Pass — systematically work to clear the legs and establish a dominant position / Leg Pin — control one or both legs to neutralize guard retention / Pressure Passing — use heavy chest pressure to flatten and immobilize the guard player.
Common variants: Standard guard (primary leg and grip configuration for control and attack…); Offensive guard (configured for sweeps and submissions); Defensive guard (prioritising distance management and preventing passes); Transition guard (moving between guard types to adjust to the opponent's pa…).
Used in no-gi competition.
Top errors to watch for: Releasing the ankle hand before the shin is secure — the leg must be stable enough to maintain position without hand … / Reaching for the far arm too aggressively — maintain posture control throughout the reach / Not pulling the arm fully across — the arm must be completely isolated on your side / Losing the shin position while reaching — if the shin slips, return to mission control before trying again.
The Standard Chill Dog is also known as Sutandādo Chiru Doggu, Basic Chill Dog, Classic Chill Dog.
