What are the 3 critical opportunities that appear from the open guard?

2. You can sweep your opponent and take the top position.

These 49 videos prove you are in control of far more than you think you are. 

 From the open guard, many people feel that when their opponents grip their legs, they no longer have control. But actually, your legs are much stronger than your opponent's arms. It is you who is in control. And I'm going to prove it to you in this course. You won't believe how simple and how effective this approach is, and when you do it yourself you will be amazed.

 What you decide to do from the open guard will depend on your understanding of fight strategy. For example, in order to sweep your opponent, you need them to commit their weight forward. But if they're hesitant to approach or they're stalling, how do you get them to commit their weight forward? I will show you how to force them to, or else give you the takedown and top position. Heads you win, tails they lose.

 There is a Jiu-Jitsu specific movement covered in the Solo Drills course that appears often in this Open Guard Defense strategy. This movement is the secret weapon for how to create distance fast and keep your opponent at the distance you choose.  

 There are more devastating strikes and submissions available from the open guard than you've ever dreamed of. Let me show you. Bonus: you will also learn the secrets Rickson showed us, that he developed when he was expected to fight wrestlers who were content to ground and pound from inside the guard, which allow you to hit your opponents with devastating strikes, yet stay completely safe from them being able to strike you. This one is true Jiu-Jitsu magic.

How is that possible? I reveal it all in the course.
