Opening The Guard: MMA For Beginners

Coach Brandon Kiser covers some simple and basic ways to open the guard for new comers to MMA. In later segments he will cover two basic passes under the legs and two passes over the legs. Used in combination, these clips will provide a solid foundation for a rudimentary guard passing game.

Coach Kiser is available for Self Defense, MMA, Submission Wrestling, Striking and Erik Paulson's CSW seminars, workshops, group and private lessons. He is based in Bountiful Utah and teaches at Mushin Self Defense/Fight Core Athletics.

In addition, he has taught many stand alone seminars, as well as technique integration seminars to traditional martial artists at The University of Utah Taekwon Do Club, Elite Tae Kwon Do, Xtreme Couture, the Lions Den and Utah Self Defense and Fitness.

The video's helpful; but I'm sorry, that's just a poor choice of words.

@MoKillaGorilla No need to be offended (unless crass observations offend you). I didn't write that as a legitimate criticism I just thought it was funny and I wanted to point it out.

On an unrelated note, I probably would never have realized that my comment had gotten so many thumbs up if you hadn't replied to it. If you're still sore about it, than by all means, knock it down a notch or two. You know where the thumbs down button is.

i know this is more mma.. but u really gotta watch out when u reach with ur hand to the anke to open up.. i know u said they could lock ur arm with the foot but a good jiu jitsu guy will also push ur hand and shoot the triangle.. a better why is to press with your forearm..
