This has been an absolute godsend recently, for a former wrestler like me who hates working from his back, and has short legs. Omoplatas come easy now!
I had no idea about the Williams guard until I saw a clip from Zara bees TriStar gym on RUclips. He said this would be a great substitute for the rubber guard. He said if you don't have the flexibility for the rubber guard just use this one.
haha, rubber guard was originally this exact position. they called it "London" but it was later on dropped from the system due to the fact that it is extremely easy to rotate towards the side they are using the guard and cartwheel over them to establish side control.
So in 10p system this looks like a position called London which in the grand scheme of things is obsolete in the no Gi because you can spin to get out. But with the Gi seems like you can do more

Brazilians were doing this guard in 1720. The Brazilian guy's name was also Williams.
i love the williams guard! Hello from Greece
No disrespect to Eddie Bravo, but williams guard is way more accessible to the majority of people than rubber guard.

Wow I've been doing and teaching this guard for the last 5 years and didn't even know that it the Williams Guard.
Learnt this guard last week. Even being a short fatty I could pull it off!
It’s a fucking shoulder pin. Jiu Jitsu has a bad habit of re-naming techniques already in existence. Also, a kimura is a double wrist lock.
