This One Detail Completely Transforms The Guard

Gary Berger — Thu, 23 Dec 2021 16:42:02 +0000

This video I overview the idea of side tilting in guard. A lot of people play their guard flat on there back, and this can be very useful, but often playing on your side allows for many benefit. On your side it is easier to maintain distance, it is difficult for your opponent to flatten you to finish their pass, and you have a lot of momentum for setting up attacks. This can also make it easier to set up back takes, berimbolos, and matrix attacks.

Guard Retention (Elbows Inside or Outside?)

Gary Berger — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 14:43:18 +0000

A common problem I see when people are defending their guard is they have their elbows too high on the inside of their knees. This creates a separation from your lower body and open body that makes it easier for your opponent to open up your elbow knee space which will lead to guard passes. In this video I discuss a lot of the benefits of keeping your elbows on the outside of your knees (Better framing of hip, tighter core, better grip fighting) Let me know if you guys have any more questions and or thoughts.

How You Kill Your Own Guard Retention

Gary Berger — Mon, 02 Sep 2019 13:06:21 +0000

Holding on to grips too long is one of the biggest mistakes in Guard Retention I see people make when playing guard at all levels. To control someone you need grips but at the same time when someone is passing you, you need to know when yo let go of the grips and focus on framing and protecting your elbow knee space. This skill set of finding the time to defend and then re entangle your opponent is a critical transition skill set that is often overlooked.
