Breaking Grips vs Open Guard
3 Part Lesson — Marcelo preemptively counters attacks from Open Guard: [I] If your opponent tries to make an angle for his Delariva-Hook after you open his Closed Guard from standing, point your lead knee to the outside and circle inward to avoid his offense. [II] If your opponent tries to reach for your trailing leg, kick it back to avoid letting him make a grip. If he grabs your ankle from the outside, kick up and out; if he underhooks it, kick up, in, and away. [III] If you notice your opponent make a large angle change by bringing his head much closer to your feet, note to make a more drastic and vigorous pull with your foot to match his intensity and speed.
