Opening the guard

1. Knee opening. Hands in hips, knee in butt, open base, open second knee and straighten arms to open.
Hand on hip toreando. Push knee down to mat, sprawl low (adjustment-hips were too high). Stuff knee and spin to pass the guard. Knee under thigh. Grab head.

2. Two standing opening variations. Hand on collar or sleeve grip. Knee in to counter lumberjack sweep.

*lumberjack sweep- push off mat with hand.

Elbows always in.

In grip battle- always have arm on top. Break down posture.
