#closed guard

I need to work on my closed guard. Often times, I find myself hanging tight onto my partner to keep control but I end up feeling stuck because of how tense I become. This disallows me from engaging with an attack or when I do engage, I easily telegraph it. I feel a bit lost when I have the closed guard.

Some things I’ll have to remember:

1. grips play an important role in maintaining control; use them grips. 

2. keep them off balance. 

3. don’t rush to attack. pressure them by compromising their base and see if their reactions will create an opportunity. Then strike. 

4. the guard can be used as a means for control to get to a better position. don’t let yourself get pinned and overtaken just because you wanted to finish someone in the guard. If necessary, use it as a means for control, recoup, then transition. 

Attacks from bottom: 2 in one to control arm grab armpit and take the back, if they post from the 2 in one switch hip to armbar instead

Escape: Tripod to crossface

- Pin one side wrist (gorilla)

- Tripod with opposite side shoulder and rotate towards their head

- Pass their wrist under them to your other hand, keep pulling towards you

- Drop near head knee and crossface

- Sprawl to open the guard (if cant open, fusilli)

- Kneecut or mount

Escape: Tripod to standup

- Pin one side wrist (gorilla)

- Tripod with opposite side shoulder and rotate towards their head

- Pass their wrist under them to your other hand, keep pulling towards you

- Put knees back down and posture up, immediately control lapel and stand up

- Push their leg to break guard and pass

Escape: Tripod with arm triangle

- Find opportunity for arm triangle

- Tripod and pinch their hips with your thighs so they cant move

- Reach back with free hand and pry open guard
