Single Leg X Guard

How do you 10p guys feel about Single Leg X Guard from Marcelo Garcia? Ever hit it?

[Brent Smith]

I like it. Good way to deal with a standing opponent

single leg X is good money. Just be mindful if you're in no reaping competitions. I have a few boys from a MG affiliate who got DQ'd for forced reaps and near reaps. Basically, if a guy turns away to get out, trying to retain the position can make it look like you're reaping when you're not. Otherwise, it's a great position. It's not a go to of mine, but I like to transition to it if I'm failing a leg lock from the bottom. I only really know like 2 sweeps from there though. Haha.

It sure as hell works for Marcelo. Of I forgot. Everything works for Marcelo. Nevermind...

I use it all the time. Really great option to have in the arsenal.

Absolutely, its part of my Reaper series from x-guard/single leg x.

I love it

Cool - I really like it too. There's basically only one sweep I know from there - the regular Single X takedown, but you can augment it by grabbing the other foot. Real easy to switch to full X Guard there as well so you can add in all those sweeps too.

Going for the straight ankle lock is always an option once you've got the position too. Heel hook can't be far away either.

It's also a really good position to control the opponent with - I find they don't know what to do when you're clamped on their leg like that.

The knee reap thing worries me though - feel like you only need to slip a little bit to get DQ.

Personal favorite display of single leg X:



MG hits it multiple times.
