Avoid the Legs

​Until recently I thought maybe this concept was more involved than I thought. It’s not though. You don’t have to accept being in someone’s guard. If I don’t force you to start there, going into someone’s closed guard is very avoidable, and if you pass, it should be incredibly difficult for them to put you back in some type of guard. You have to engage in positions, but you get to dictate the terms, and one of those terms is as minimal contact with the other person’s legs as possible. This is something that will make your life infinitely easier if you implement it, but you actually have to do it.
