Add to Favorites 1735 Remove From Favorites 4073 days ago
The cross grip guard or 2 on 1 guard has very similar attacks as the classic guard. The different between the two guards is a difference in how you are gripping your opponent's gi. The classic guard has one grip in your opponent's cross collar and one grip on the same side sleeve. The cross grip guard is when you grip your opponent's cross sleeve while the 2 on 1 guard is when you have your opponent's cross sleeve and use the same side hand to grip their gi near the armpit to reinforce the cross grip. The arm drag, scissor sweep, and de la riva hook combinations from the 2 on 1 or cross grip guard are very similar to their classic guard variations.
