Deep dives
Understanding Inside Channel Control
Inside channel control refers to occupying the space inside an opponent's range of attack, effectively limiting their ability to fight back. Techniques such as underhooks and single leg X guard exemplify this strategy, as they involve moving between an opponent's limbs. This position creates a mechanical advantage, making it difficult for the opponent to utilize their strength or reach effectively. Particularly against larger opponents, maintaining this close control can negate their size advantage, allowing smaller practitioners to thrive.
