K Guard Defense: Countering With Reverse Belt

Counter the K-guard by exploiting the disconnect between your opponent's knee and elbow:

1. Identify the disconnect between your opponent's knee and elbow as a point of failure in their K-guard.
2. Throw your arm across your opponent's stomach to exploit this disconnect.
3. Post your hand on your opponent's leg to prevent them from circling their leg over and regaining connection.
4. Work to reconnect your own knee and elbow to establish a solid base.
5. From this position, you can transition to Knee on Belly, leg drag positions, or side control.
6. Throwing your arm across the stomach helps secure the disconnect and begins to shut down the K-guard.
7. This action will force your opponent to react, either by turning away, which allows you to chase their back, or by turning into you, where you can work to establish a passing position.
8. Remember to take advantage of any disconnect between your opponent's knee and elbow when countering the K-guard.
