How to Set Up the X Guard

I love the X Guard.  It’s such a high-percentage position.

First of all, it can be applied from a huge number of open guard and half guard situations.  If you’ve ever watched an X Guard specialist you’ll know that he needs just a tiny bit of room to insert those hooks and – BOOM – he’s slithered into the X Guard.

And once an opponent is caught in the X Guard he’s going down!  In fact, by the time the X Guard is applied most of the hard work is already done and the sweep is now already 80% finished.If you’re new to the X Guard then the following video by Emily Kwok and myself might be a good place to start.

And if you’re already using the X Guard on a regular basis then you might still be able to pick up a couple of new nuances and details from the video below – I know I did!

The above video clip is a short excerpt from the No Gi Sweeps and Submissions volume in the How to Defeat the Bigger, Stronger Opponent in No Gi instructional set.  It is available both as a series of mobile apps and as a 5 DVD set.
