4 Simple Ideas to Improve Your Closed Guard

[Brandon Mccaghren]

One possible filter through which to view the Closed Guard:

1. Win the Grips
2. Win the Inside Space
3. Win the Posture
4. Win the Angle

Not necessarily in that order. Not necessarily a complete strategy.

If you’re a beginner and are constantly finding yourself stuck or lost, having guides and “cheat sheets” like this can be really helpful as they give you some ideas to focus on and some small battles to win.

I love you used your left foot as a post and used the opposite leg to pivot. That is slick man!

High quality, bruv!

I see a lot of more experienced guys playing high guard when the posture is broken instead of totally relying on the skeletal strength of the arms. Thanks for the ideas.
