How to Play the Sitting Guard
If your feet are dangling past your hands, then you're kind of giving your opponent access to your feet. You should also be watching their hands an sort of anticipating that those hands are going to make moves. So i've modified my game to really pay attention to my partner's hands from the bottom. And it works because iim focused in on just their hands, right?
