Getting your guard passed sucks. The problem is that we tend to fight hard to prevent it from happening, only to be exhausted, mentally and physically, when and if it happens. But, by prioritizing your tactics for guard play, guard retention and pass prevention in early to late stages, you can take some of the stress and exhaustion out of the process. In this video, I try to offer some solutions for that process. Hope it helps.
