Instructions

  1. 1Start on bottom in half or open guard with a partner passing at 70% speed.
  2. 2Prioritize frames and hip movement over grips in the first two seconds of each exchange.
  3. 3Recover guard or take a sweep opportunity every time space opens.
  4. 4Reset from bottom guard each time you're passed or a sweep lands.

What to focus on

Staying calm and framing early rather than panicking under pressure.

Common mistake

Flattening out and turtling instead of continuing to frame and recover.
