The K Guard is really hot right now because it solves three very difficult problems. These problems include…
- How do you maintain control of your opponent if you don’t have a strong grip on his arms or upper body (especially in no gi)?
- How do you deal with opponents who stand up in your guard (the most popular form of guard passing right now)?
