Jeff Glover's Donkey Guard

[BJJLDave]

Had a lot of fun with this series with Jeff Glover. Here's a clip of Jeff teaching a very unorthodox way to try to take your opponent's back with the Donkey Guard.

 

[BJJJoe]

Dudes been smoking too much heefer.

 

[Darwinist]

Old, but so incredibly, incredibly appropriate.

 

[Leify]

Seminar needs a self defense entry: Defending the Donkey Punch.

 

[Dogstarman]

Man that looks like a lot of steps and work to take the back. I will never be this skilled so I'll leave the donkey guard to more coordinated people.

 

[Human Bass]

Helio is rolling in his grave.

 

[mattemate]

is that why he turned his back to Caio?
That is just plain silly.

 

[Knock Out Ned]

I know a guy who sets up this position for toe holds a lot.

 

[chunglii]

Next time I have a wheel barrow race with my buddies I'll be able to kick my partner's ass.

 

[kimble09]

does this guard jive with the Helio Filter?

 

[Solidus Snake]

Don't let Keenan see this lol

 

[Drew Foster]

It actually works pretty well. Keep in mind that you don't just chill there. It's pretty much no different than the Imanari rolling heel hook entries. This is basically just a quick way to do a flying scissors takedown into a heel hook or rolling under for the back.

 

[Einarr]

Donkey Guard? Really?

 

[Title Fight Productions]

This is actually a great self defense guard, street proven..... You know, for when your running away from your attacker and he is faster than you and catches up. :/

 

[Ice 9 Cobra]

does this guard jive with the Helio Filter?

It fits under the Ryron "Playful Act" provisions

 

[the heed]

does this guard jive with the Helio Filter?

yeah but Jeff is keeping it playful, thus it cancels itself out.

 

[Knock Out Ned]

Here's the dude I was talking about. This video is from this past weekend. He doesn't hit the toe hold, but I've seen him hit it in comps. before.

 

[Shemhazai]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone skillfully escape that upside-down closed guard/reverse mount position.

 

[FinBJJ]

I can see this catching a lot of guys off guard.

 

[Bret Griffin]

Isn't this just inverted closed guard?
