Beginner Translation
You steer the legs out of your way and run around the guard instead of forcing straight through it.
What It Does
Torreando helps the passer use angle, speed, and direction changes to beat the legs before the guard can reset.
Where You See It
You see torreando against open guard, especially when the top player has grips and wants to redirect the legs before settling to side control.
Why It Matters
Beginners learn that some passes win by moving around the guard instead of smashing into it.
