2 Part Lesson — Marcelo stands to break the Closed Guard: [I] If your opponent is insistent upon hanging from Closed Guard while still clinched to you, create frames against his hips and let gravity work in your favor. Don't tip back or keep his back far from the ground otherwise you risk a takedown once he releases his guard. Once his ankles uncross and he falls, keep your legs apart to prevent him from bundling your knees together for a Gecko Guard Sweep. [II] When the opponent's guard breaks open, prepare to pass with a Knee Slide or at the very least, free one leg to land in Half Guard with an Underhook ready.
