Class 14 - Advance Guard Getups 7,8 & 9 GU 20 (Direct Getup | Knee Sheild | Power Frame)
Overview
If you don’t have the time or space to execute the previously learned Guard Get-ups, the Advanced Guard Get-ups are exactly what
you’ll need. Although these variations take a bit longer to master, once you own them, your escape efficiency will skyrocket to another
level. We’ll begin with the Direct Get-up and then we’ll discuss the Knee Shield and the Power Frame.
Technical Slices
1. Direct Get-up
• Indicator: Assailant is in your guard, and you either don’t have enough space to get up in the conventional manner.
• Essential Detail: Grab the same side arm and drag it across his body to the ground as a post to get up.
• Most Common Mistake: Turning the wrong direction during the arm drag.
• Bonus Detail: If his wrists are not accessible, post on his head for the get-up.
• Drill Orders: Start from the guard, one rep, reverse roles.
2. Knee Shield
• Indicator: Assailant is in your guard and you don’t have space for a full shrimp.
• Essential Detail: Once the knee is firmly on his chest, you can open up your body to get the other foot on his hip.
• Most Common Mistake: Not keeping his wrist pinned to the ground during the get-up.
• Bad Guy Reminder: Make sure you are sitting up to pursue your partner from a postured knee position. If your knee is at an
acute angle, this move will not work.
• Bonus Detail: If they are kneeling with one knee on the ground and one foot on the ground, go for the inside knee.
• Safety Tip: Use firm but not exaggerated pressure on the kick to the knee.
• Drill Orders: Start from the guard, one rep, reverse roles.
3. Power Frame
• Indicator: Assailant is in your guard and has full hip control with head down.
• Essential Detail: Once the frame is established, rotate and extend your arms to establish distance.
• Most Common Mistake: Grabbing the wrong wrist in the frame.
• Bad Guy Reminder: Start from a low position in the guard, controlling her hips from escaping.
• Safety Tip: Bad guy should turn their head to the side and tighten their neck for protection.
• Drill Orders: Start from a low, tight guard, use Power Frame to initiate Knee Shield variation, reverse roles
