When it comes to guard retention and closed guard using my legs and not just my arms hands down. People will have an extremely tough time opening your guard if they are constantly being moved around. 

When it comes to strength legs > arms so use them both!

Perfect timing for this week's techniques. Saturday 6/13 join me at a 11AM for a workshop that is going to take a deep dive into opening closed guard. Once we open the guard I'll be showing my 2 favorite options. 

Can't make it Saturday? Well you should change your plans but it you can't, Wednesday night at 8PM will be a great preview. 

This makes so much sense, but I never thought about it in that way. Definitely food for thought.

Better start loosening up those shoulders for Wednesday! Kimuras are a great way to attack your partner. 

Plenty of wrist locks available since you better have that elbow locked in too! #WristLockWednesday

Bonus question: Why is it called a Kimura? Don't know? Answer revealed only on Wednesday night!

I wasn't able to be there last night but anyone who came was in great hands with Peter Thanos He loves side control and it shows!

Good choice, make them only focus on 50% of the body!

Ahh but since it says "caught in" I can still use them as a distraction 😈

The arm behind the head choke is such a great option when attempting the lapel choke from last week. It build such a great system. Throw in the rear naked choke that we are also looking and your partner will have their hands full!You later this week for #WristLockWednesday

Looking back I think the biggest thing was learning to stay calm and that you don't need to constantly move. Don't freak out or spazz out. This give you a moment to think or at least react properly.

When the knees are good 🤣
