Should I Drill it ?

Im a small guy at 135 and only 5'7 the bigger guys in my Gi gym tend to have the advantage but lately ive been really fascinated with Spiral guard and X-Guard should I pull gears and start to drill a bunch of those techniques ? Im hoping that with a sick Spiral Guard and X-Guard game ill be able to give the bigger guys a run for there money :D

Yeah, definitely put some reps into it. At the very least about 15 minutes once every two weeks. *coughwarmupsHcoughcough*

Even if you don't ever get to where it is your go-to, A-game level stuff, at least you will know what people are looking for when they play that same style of game against you.

Perfect guard for little guys

I absolutely love spiral guard. Now, I am terrible at it, but I like it alot. Yes it i to sure a recommended game for the little guy :). Rep it!

Good idea. Don't forget about butterfly and DLR. Anything to prevent those guys from passing your guard is awesome. I'm working a lot on the DLR and Spiral right now myself. Really diggin the hook sweep and the kiss of the dragon.

I like to spiral under the big guys and play some X-guard and I'm right around your size.
