A new technique video from Andre Galvao black belt Keenan Cornelius shows an introductory lesson of the lapel guard. Essentially, he shows you how to open someone’s gi in one motion while standing and then how to engage in the guard once you have hold.
He shows you the possibilities from sweeps and submissions that are capable when you’ve trapped your opponent in their own gi. Check it out and have fun frustrating all of your training partners.
