INSIGHT

Layers of Guard

  • Passing the guard involves overcoming layers of defense.
  • These layers typically include the legs, arms, and finally, full body control.
ADVICE

Retention Phase

  • Recognize the retention/recovery phase when your opponent passes your legs.
  • Take corrective action to recover or you'll likely be passed.
ADVICE

Elbow-Knee Connection

  • Maintain a tight elbow-knee connection to protect your core.
  • This prevents opponents from wedging you open and passing.
