Maintenance Principals Intro

Maintenance of the folding pass is crucial for control and efficiency. The goal is to keep the opponent in the folding pass for as long as possible, as this position allows the practitioner to use their body weight to tire the opponent, who will expend more energy than the practitioner. Key focus areas include switching sides to maintain control, hugging the knees to prevent the opponent's movement, and managing situations when the opponent attempts to re-guard from the folding pass.
