What is guard retention?
Guard retention is the act of getting your opponent back in front of you and in between your legs, as he tries to pass your guard. You need to have a grip and at least 3 points of contact.
Felipe Grez is a BJJ black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Michelle Nicolini. Felipe runs jiujitsukingdom.com academy in Australia.
Felipe has been working on a guard retention system that he wanted to share with BJJ Eastern Europe readers:
“Here is the first part of the Guard Retention Series that I have been working on and teaching for the last year with amazing results! The idea is learning how to survive, protect yourself and look for opportunities to escape from the best possible platform and defensive structure available!”
