    If you could only play 1 guard... Which would it be?

    I think taking the back is best but if you aren't counting that then rubber guard

    Rubber Guard for me too. It's just fun, funky, and people with more experience than me seem to have trouble with it.

    Triangle is a form of closed guard, right? It's just closed guard with one arm out. So I think I like triangle-guard best. After that, Hubber Guard son!

    I think those are both technically closely related forms of high closed guard. Kissing cousins if you will.

    That's a weird question. Could I play lockdown and use it to transition into dogfight, then to twister side and into the truck? Would I be able to play traditional half guard and then put in a stomp, and transition to the cocoon, to Jersey/Meathook/Gogo Clinch?

    Triangle is not a Guard. It's an attack/submission position. Just like spiderweb is not a guard either. I don't think I've ever hear 'Triangle guard' before.

    BUTTERFLY with an overhook aka cocoon....because sweeps are available and transitions to rubber or lockdown or full....basically this guard that can give me the most options to transition...

    popular is the wrong question, versatile and effective is a better question...
