GUARD PLAYER:

POSITION: Seated on your butt with your feet between your partner’s knees OBJECTIVE: Maintain seated open guard, keep your feet between your partner’s knees, and your head/hands pointed at the top player. Make connections between the top player’s elbows or make connection to the outside of top player’s elbows. CONSTRAINTS: None WIN CONDITION: None

GUARD PASSER:

ADDITIONAL VARIATIONS - DIFFICULTY:

• LEVEL 2: Bottom new objective: Attempt to make your partner post as many times as you can.
• LEVEL 3: Bottom new objective: Attempt to make your opponent post, and then connect to the shoulder line with underhooks and connect your hands. For this version, bottom wins via double underhooks with connected hands

ADDITIONAL POSITIONAL VARIATIONS:

• You can adapt this to any specific seated guard rather than just open seated including half clamp, half knee shield, half butterfly, butterfly, etc..

GAME GOALS:

CONCEPTS & DETAILS:

Frame Lever battle, etc..

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

I’d recommend by playing this in the order of standard variation, then level 2, then level 3.
