Couple of questions (and they are questions not attacks).

1) Are you always taught to hold your hand so high when breaking the guard.

2) When the purple belt guy was on his back (in the passing from side control to mount example) he had his foot on his other thigh. Would you normally do this. This is something I was taught not to do (I am not a purple belt).

Anyone else have any opinions on this?

I see your instructor has a black belt in Judo and his own style (camarillo JJ). Has he also been taught BJJ or it it more a Judo Club?

im only a whitebelt myself so, but i think as long as u have a good grip on one of his legs i dont think it matters too much how high your hand is. if u have control of one of his legs he cant really do much, and once u break open his guard your hands should go outside so u can pull him to you and stack him.

the perpouse of putting his foot up is to make it harder for opponent to get to mount. if u notice in the next picture our instructor dave is pushing his legs down to make way for the mount.

david got his bjj blackbelt from ralph gracie, and was already a blackbelt in judo before that.

For this method of passing the guard, I prefer to have the jacket-controlling hand a bit lower - so that my fist is basically in his solar plexus. The other hand grabs the pants. That's just my opinion. I think the guy in the picture grabs higher to make it tougher for the guy on the bottom to sit up and counter.
