Breaking the Closed Guard, Kick Escape vs Closed Guard Bottom
2 Part Lesson — Marcelo explains how to properly escape the Closed Guard: [I] After leaping to your feet while inside your opponent's guard, arch your back and dig underneath his crossed ankles before he has a chance to trip you up by your ankles. Remember to step back and leave your lead leg inside to pass and control your opponent's Open Guard. [II] If your opponent grabs your ankles before you can break open his Closed Guard, kick your trailing leg forward and circle it back out to base against the sweep.
