Trouble Shooting: Prevent Losing Leg On Running Opponent

When attacking the K-Guard against a standing opponent, it's crucial to maintain a sticky connection to prevent them from running away. Follow these steps to ensure control:

1. Start with the elbow inside and holding above the opponent's knee.
2. If the opponent starts to turn and run, bring their leg up onto your shoulder.
3. Adjust your elbow outside your knee and grip right behind the Achilles.
4. Bring their laces inside your ankle, pinch your knees, and think of securing the leg with a Rear Naked Choke grip.
5. Even if you lose connection with your lower body, work to reconnect by using your bottom leg to push off the floor and hip heist over their leg.
6. Focus on forcing their knee down to the floor to prevent them from running.
7. Regain connection with the lower body and hook your foot around their far hip to maintain control.
8. As you maintain control at the end of their leg, start climbing up, securing the far hip by weaving your foot through.
9. Use the hip heist to either roll through for better control or force their knee down, which adds weight and control over their leg.
10. The goal is to keep as many points of connection as possible, staying sticky and preventing the opponent from disengaging and escaping.
