-
You're awesome!
-
Excellent drill! Will start using it straight away.

@mrkiky You wouldn't be able to pull him in to finish the triangle, they'd just posture up
-
From the open guard position, instead of getting him back close, wouldn't it be better to try to put a leg over his shoulder and go for a triangle?
-
I dunno, we tried this in class. We all passed it pretty easily, especially if the bottom fighter's weight is on the upper back/shoulders.
-
You can fight through the pain of a groin strike, it sucks but it's better then getting ko'ed!
-
@goamericathebest i agree, he made a joke about how the head is more important. IT IS, but a hit in the groin will put you down in a second.

High Percentage Leglocks: the Four Most Common Mistakesby StephanKesting15,004 views
Thank you for the great instruction! One beginner question: While creating distance, wouldn't it be very easy for my opponent to pass my guard by sweeping my legs/knees aside? If yes, is there a way to avoid this or follow up? Thank you very much!

@tuibudahu The open guard is a dynamic position, and you have to continually react to your the energy you're getting from your opponent. If you spar against a guy with a good open guard you'll find it VERY difficult to simply sweep the legs and knees to one side. But this is something that you need to train: I suggest that you isolate the open guard and practice maintaining it against someone who is trying to pass it. Initially start WITHOUT strikes, just to get an idea of how it works
