Standing guard open with Coach Alejandro

From Ascend Jiu Jitsu

February 25, 2024

Coach A is showing the kids a way to open the closed guard by standing. We like to teach the kids to use two hands on one before stepping a leg up to stand in the guard. Once you stand the first leg up. We ask the kids to look away in the opposite direction and easily twist the second leg up to stand. Once up in a staggered stance. They can easily push one leg down to open.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
