Gator Roll Guard Pass Professor Philipe Della Monica GB2 Advanced Class | Gracie Barra HQ - Irvine, CA Jan 2024 linktr.ee/gbirvine 14988 Sand Canyon ave. Studio 1 Irvine, CA 92618
What keeps you from losing balance and having your opponent move from underneath you as you do this gator roll guard pass. I have followed your instruction to apply this pass in sparring, but a few times I have lost my balance, with my opponents almost taking my back. I wonder if I am not sufficiently stabilizing the position?
If I had to guess you’re not pulling the lapel hard enough and maintaining solid connection thru the rotation. That lapel grip should anchor you to their shoulder as you turn over. Think about it in reverse if you’re transitioning from side control to north south you have to keep your chest heavy to prevent an escape. This move requires you to lift your body off so you need to pull the opponent into you.
Nice explanation professor. Muito obrigado

Funny how these guys all of a sudden pretend to know the gator roll, only after Tainan started doing it😊
I believe Jacare ignited this and it was lost fur a while.
