Xande discusses what to do when he's playing the collar guard and his opponent smashes his knees, looking to pass. His first step is to drop his knee to his opponent's hip and stretch himself away, extending with the sleeve grip as he does. Now he has the space to put both feet back on the hips, and reset his collar guard.

In this series, Xande shows some of the positions he showed during his recent seminars in Europe, and focuses on his classic collar guard. Xande first sets up his collar guard with a cross grip on the lapel with the back of his hand on his opponent's neck, and his other hand grips the sleeve. Both of Xande's feet are on his opponent's hips, one as the knee shield and the other to push off and control the distance. Using these grips, Xande shows how he can keep control of his opponent as he tries to move side to side around Xande's guard.
