Guard Retention Entries: Clearing Ankle Grips to 2 on 1

Stripping an opponent's grip on the ankles is crucial for establishing a connection and gaining control. To do this effectively:

1. Consistently pummel and clear the grips on the ankles, denying the opponent the ability to control your feet from the outside.
2. When the opponent follows your movement, seize the opportunity to establish a strong two-on-one control.
3. Bring their hand towards the center, allowing your opposite hand to reach and secure the grip.
4. Avoid sitting up and reaching across, as this can be difficult if the opponent has a strong grip and leaves your elbow far from your body.
5. Prefer the baseball bat grip when on your back, as it allows for elevation and off-balancing, sending the opponent overhead.
6. Use reverse egg beater motions to clear the grips, transitioning into a two-on-one grip as you do so.
7. Place your foot on the opponent's hip, pulling in at an angle, aiming to bring your head towards their knee to enter a strong K-Guard position.
8. As the opponent pulls their elbow to their body, use that motion to pull yourself in, but avoid staying square to them.
9. Maintain the elbow position to prevent the opponent from separating your knee from your chest, keeping a strong structure to stay offensive.

By bringing the opponent's hand to the center and establishing control, you can transition into a favorable position and maintain offensive capabilities.
