What is closed guard?

techniquebeginner

Closed guard means your legs are wrapped around your opponent's waist with ankles crossed behind their back. This controls their posture and distance while giving you many attack options - armbars, triangles, sweeps, and more. Breaking someone's closed guard is a fundamental skill; maintaining it is equally important.
