White belt here and while this is true for me too Jake your channel has me revisiting your videos over and over again over time and getting something new out of it each time. Keep up the high level stuff!
I decided to watch this video because my coach mentioned it in class tonight. Very helpful explanation of concepts that are quite advanced for me as a white belt. Thank You!
To help with the k -guard to back side 5050 vs going to X Guard, best advice i got was look at your head position. If your head position is in between the ankle of the leg you are trying to attack with back side 5050 it will be easier to finish. If your head is on the outside the ankle its eaiser to get to x. This inturn give you increased chances in wining in those postions.
So if you’re attacking your opponent’s right leg (your left side) with k guard, does that mean if their ankle is on your left ear, to go backside 50/50?
@@lobsterairsoft499 easy way to think is you are parallel inverted so you head is inbetween their legs and your right ear touches there right leg. These are generalities. It could be easy with the head on the outside if you have the flexibility.
your study has really aligned with my personal experience focusing on K control the past year. excellent work. I would say one detail that I rarely hear mentioned that makes the flatback Kguard position incredibly powerful is false gripping above the knee which activates the side core muscles between the hand and the action foot making K guard a much more sustainable static position. it prevents the backstep and makes your action leg incredibly heavy for your opponent to manipulate.
I am partial to wrestle up from k-guard, just because trying to go for 50/50 takes away the initiative to attack, while successful transition to wrestle up can open more opportunities to advance your position or pose a threat in general.
I think the reason Gord failed to clear the scissor guard in the second clib is not because he started standing in the first one, but because of his arm position. In one clip he had his shoulder above the thigh of his opponent in the second one he had his shoulder below the thigh, this makes a huge difference, in one case you have more bodyweight on your opponent making them face away and it's hard for them to push, in the other case not so much. He teaches the move of going side to side in his first dvd from the knees, I think his arm position is what screwed him. In a sense starting standing makes it easier to get the proper arm position because your shoulder starts higher.
Great video man. High level stuff that you dont usually see on youtube. Do you use any other platforms where we can ask you questions for maybe donations or something like that?
When I think about the matrix it’s the same exaggerated high leg and people may turn away to blow by the low leg but that create the space and back exposure for the matrix
@@LIMIBJJ sorry I forsure wasn't clear the top player turning away to blow by the low leg - creates back exposure for the bottom player when matrixing allowing bottom player to come to rear body lock agree?
At the moment...yea pretty much. There are some RUclips videos on there which are free but right now the majority of matches are from Flo. I am thinking that will change in a couple months so stay tuned, but at the moment I would recommend a flo subscription to get the most use out of it in its current state
Excellent Stuff! i've always just thrown out the idea of k guard on a standing opponent but know i know why !! i hope your still working on make a open guard instructional!
I always thought guard retention was so hard to be good at in no gi that i had much better luck just wrestling up, and see how many adcc black belt competitors gets their guards passed with “basic” body locks, knee slides or toreando and floating leg weave passes im like ok it’s happening at the highest level too 😅
Man, I watch all your videos and learn a lot, but this high leg demarcation line is the first thing I’ve ever disagreed with. You’re noticing a true trend, but I think not seeing the core of the problem. True, If you throw a high leg reguard wide, over the top- that will definitely get you passed. Also true that if you throw the high leg (and this is what happens more often in those clips) with one of your hip bones coming off the ground as you turn to face them and in a balling spine position, that can also get you passed. But you’re ignoring the vital importance of the cross shoulder post high leg reguard. Whenever your opponent leads by dropping their shoulder into your elbow knee space, it’s vital to be able to frame with your foot for two reasons: one, if you were not able to bring your legs into play, you’re framing their whole body weight with your arms only-which is very tiring over time. And two, by bringing the foot to the cross shoulder post and addressing the object that’s that’s threatening your elbow knee space, you have your arms free to attack the arm saddle/Choi bar which is one of the only ways to END the cycle of abuse of a larger opponent continuously dropping their shoulder on you. Nick Salles vs Diego Saravia comes to mind as an example. Go watch Nick brilliantly stop Diego from being able to ever drop his shoulder by brining his foot across the demarcation line of the head. He artfully places the end of his foot on a piece of bone. Educated and dexterous. It’s not crossing the head that gets you passed. It’s super necessary. It’s people doing it poorly that’s making it look bad lol. Ight. Sorry that was long as fuck. I’m passionate. Ima go finish this video now and then go watch the last one where you spoke about this more in depth.
It amazes me that Chen is so high level, but has pretty low-level technique on things like a crossface and that Achilles lock. Plus, how can you mention k-control and the oil check without mentioning Neil Melanson?
@@cbchansey6866 a crossface is when you take the blade of your forearm across their face. It's great for facelocks. The Achilles tendon on the back of the ankle. He missed the crossface in Quintet and his hand positioning is too low for the Achilles in this match.
If you want to full answers to all the questions around Guardretention and Options from there, just watch Lachlan Giles and Ariel Tabaks Instructionals (Guardretention, K-Guard, X-Guard, 50/50, De la Riva, Backtakes etc.) The knowledge is out there and far better explained then in a Gordon/Danaher overcomplicated manner. Maybe those guys don't have the medals to show, maybe the don't use Steriods, maybe they are less athletic and maybe they have better mechanics then a 230 pound Gorilla. Give it a try and you won't need any half backed answers to questions already been answered. Keep your mind open and remember what made JiuJitsu great in the first place: best use of biomechanics win and not dogmatic thinking. Rock'n'Roll
Fuck i love your videos but im gonna go watch submission101 videos if you keep using the word demarcation when you can say far shoulder or near shoulder which is more specific and less syllables.

Hilarious to see that I made it to a highlight! Been doing Rev. Closed Guard for a while. great position.
Hahaha keep up the good work my man!
Your stuff is always good but this is up there with one of the best bits of free instructional out there. Awesome
Thank you!
This breakdown is gold. Phenomenal job.
Thank you 👊🏼
Amazing content. My high leg is always getting caught in “no man’s land” I need to get that inside. Thanks for solving one of my big problems
Awesome! Hope you have had some success implementing the changes!
Best video yet. Feel like this’ll help my retention and my scoop grip passing. Super common sequence in modern nogi.
Awesome thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it
awesome vid
Thank you!
This is really good study, I play kguard a lot
Awesome! Hopefully it helps on the mat
coming to bjj after chess, I love the parallels. Like that in both you even have databases where you can search matches by position
That is the goal!
Fantastic job as always mate, keep rocking!
Appreciate it my man!
Fuxk… now I have to fuxcking learn K guard!!!

I like using “making them un-athletic” in the place of kizushi or off balancing them.
Yeah I like it as well!

Outstanding breakdown, keep up the good job.

10:22 what is that position, it resembles k guard but the leg is on the outside.
I am not sure what people are calling it
Super post. Thank you 🙏🏻
Very thematic to have the og guard retention guy lachlan as the closing remarks
Great video man. High level stuff that you dont usually see on youtube. Do you use any other platforms where we can ask you questions for maybe donations or something like that?
Watch to the end of the video
Some great tips
Thank you I am glad you enjoyed it!
Scissor guard is a good way to stop side to side passing when forced to do a far side highleg
Yep just hard sometimes to keep that back hook strong
once again top notch video content !!!!
Thanks my man!
👊 excellent analysis as always 🙏

You should do an instructional on guard retention
Working on it...although not sure I will ever finish it haha
Are there still grandfather rates available for the website?? 🥺
The $12 rate came and win but our next round of grandfather rates is currently open at $20
Would K guard be the meta?
great stuff
Thank you!
Time to start practicing those "Oil Checks"
Haha yep yep!
What do you do when they grab the high leg any pass that way
Hey do you need a flograppling subscription for your outlier database to work? Love the vids
