This video I discuss the importance of developing end point positions first. Often we try ti memorize open guard positions, and while this can be useful its critical to deeply understand the end positions first because they are the easiest to calculate. I reccomend people new to jiu jitsu should start with submissions first, then positional controls, then open guard positions.
