Hope y’all found this helpful! Thanks @thesymphonyofpain for the video idea. This is by no means an exhaustive list of k guard entries, but hopefully serves as a good intro.
Thanks for going over this entry, as always. I am still learning where to find the heel hooks and such. I tend to forget the heel hook is there in favor of the calf slicer, but the heel hook seems like a safer entanglement to transition from.
Good details. I've found more success with the foot on the same hip as the leg I'm attacking than the cross hip, like the way Lachlan entered in the video you referenced. It does require a little more hip flexibility but if you have the top leg as a frame in between you and their chest, it makes it easier to make that angle. Cheers!
Thanks for the comment! Yes, my understanding is the near hip is useful for making the initial catch (especially vs pressure), while the far hip is to prevent someone from exploding/spazzing away after the catch. You’ll notice Lachlan starts with the near hip and ends with the far hip. Why/when to use which hip is something that took me awhile to understand.

The calf slicer or backtake are there if they slip the knee from backside 50/50. Thanks for the comment 🎉

Thanks for the feedback! Was testing it out on this one. Hopefully the instruction was still clear.
