Kick Escape vs Closed Guard > Breaking the Closed Guard
2 Part Lesson -- Marcelo breaks out of the Closed Guard: Control your opponent's hands before popping up to both feet and leaning back; if they don't engage with grips and wait to attack your legs, raise up and be ready to kick your trail-leg free from an ankle pick. [02:22] Dig your arm behind your back and scoop underneath your opponent's leg to uncross their feet. If they rise up to meet you and hang on while you've stood up, use your other hand to push them back down as you work to open the Closed Guard.
