Pull Guard
Breathe
Concentrate on positioning
Control the hips
Don't let him pass
Have fun

That sounds like a pretty good plan.

So legs locks arent allowed in the adult beginner level? Im doing the no-gi tourny. it says The K.I.S.S scoring System For No-Gi Grappling but im still not sure if leg locks are allowed or not. If they arent that relieves alot of stress for me.

That's what it looks like. You might want to call ahead and verify because it seems weird that they wouldn't even allow a straight ankle lock.
