Basic Jiu Jitsu Guard Retention Drill! #jiujitsu #jiujitsudrills #friscotx

Want to improve your open guard and stop opponents from passing your guard in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? This guard retention drill can help!

In this video, Professor Matthew Jones demonstrates a movement drill designed to help you quickly turn and face your opponent when they're passing your guard or moving behind you.

By using a wide X-shaped leg clamp, grabbing your training partner's ankles, and rotating your body, you can practice recovering your position with speed and control. The drill also teaches you to avoid unnecessarily pushing your opponent away, making your movements more efficient during live sparring.

Practice both directions and build the muscle memory needed for better guard retention!
