Robinho Cross Guard
July 12, 2008
Robson or Robinho (which means little Robson) started working on the “Robinho Cross Guard” years ago. But only within the last 6 months has he started to share his unique and devastating guard. One leg is locked under his opponents arm and the other hand (with gi) holds the opponents opposite leg (no-gi the leg is only held) This “trap” offers the opponent only a few options. Grab a leg=arm bar, posture up=sweep, etc. Now with total control over you opponent Robinho can wait for the opening with little threat of a guard pass or attack. Check out this video
To learn more about the Robinho Cross Guard get a private lesson with the Champ at his Tampa Academy just visit www.robsonmoura.com for more info.

I have been using your cross-guard when the person kneels to release my DeLaRiva hook. It is a really effective transition so I just wanted to thank you for the excellent explanation and instruction of your cross-guard technique. I am under Phil Migliarese III and own my own school in South Jersey. I have directed students to you through JiuJitsuShare.com.
Thank You,
Pat Vacanti
