K-guard

An advanced open guard built for entering leg entanglements. Your knee wedges between their legs with that foot planted on the outer side of their hip, and an arm hooks their leg before you turn under.

Key steps

  1. Angle your hips away so you're sitting off to one side of them.
  2. Wedge your knee between their legs, keeping that foot on the outer side of their hip.
  3. Hook your arm under their near leg so you're attached to it.
  4. Load their weight onto one leg, then turn underneath into 50/50 or the saddle.

Key details

  • Entering without a connection to the leg lets them step away before you rotate.
  • Treat it as an entry; waiting too long in it gives them time to pass.
