Force Vectors in Guard Retention
- Force vectors are crucial for maintaining guard in BJJ, especially after losing grip fighting.
- Understanding force vectors helps you identify the direction of incoming force and create appropriate frames for defense.
Addressing Force Vectors
- Identify the force vector (direction of incoming force) to know where to block and create space.
- Set an appropriate frame and identify the leading edge (closest body part affecting your posture) to manage distance effectively.
Leading Edge and Base
- Leading edge is the closest part of the opponent's body affecting your posture or base (e.g., knee on belly).
- Address the leading edge with a frame and opposing post to maintain alignment and support yourself.
