Straight Footlock vs Open Guard
Marcelo talks with Joachim about attacking from 50/50: When one entangles their leg inside the 50/50, it enables the opponent to keep themselves locked into the position, if they so choose. It is generally much more prudent to place yourself into similar positions, e.g. Single-Leg-X, that provide you with as many options as possible; the more contingencies available for escaping, resetting, etc., the better off you will be for finding a finish or victory- especially when limited by the duration of a match with points involved.
