About this video
Explore the K-guard position, focusing on concepts, proper positioning, and specific details that enhance its effectiveness. Learn sequences that lead to reactions and submissions tailored to the opponent's responses.
Emphasize the advantages of K-guard in No-Gi for maintaining connection and inside position, which opens up opportunities for back takes, leg locks, and various other attacks. The guard's strength lies in its difficulty to counter, and the course also addresses strategies to prevent common counters.
Included with the instructional content is rolling footage, providing a practical view of the techniques and concepts in action during live sparring sessions.
