Closed guard

Get it right

Key details
  • Sit up fast while they’re upright; it fails once they lean forward
  • Your hips go up and forward, not just up

Leaving their arm free so they post and block the roll.

If they defend it

They pull the arm back and lean in: lock the kimura or go for the guillotine.
