In this lesson we learn two ways to open your opponent's closed guard. The Knee up the Middle guard break uses your knee as a wedge to create space to force open the legs. It's a simple but highly effective solution for forcing open the closed guard against opponents with longer legs. We also learn how to deal with opening the closed guard when your opponent is hugging on to you like an overly-cuddly sloth or koala bear with the double underhooks.Add to Favorites 811 Remove From Favorites 4139 days ago

Saulo explains how to break your opponent's closed guard by standing and applying pressure to your opponent's hips. Bracing off of their hips allows us to move away backwards and, with the right angle of your hips, create the necessary pressure to force our opponent's legs open to break the closed guard.Add to Favorites 1039 Remove From Favorites 4286 days ago
