Standing passing of a supine open guard
Standing open-guard passing is a descriptive name for standing vs supine guard — naming the standing approach to passing a supine open guard.
Etymology. “Standing” names the posture; “open-guard passing” names the task against a player on their back with open legs. The label specifies one common application of the standing-vs-supine position.
Mechanics. Even from standing, open-guard passing begins by clearing the feet: the supine player’s feet and hooks must be neutralised before the passer advances, so the standing passer’s first job is to redirect or pin the feet rather than dive between active legs.
