Cool thread, seeing some posts on Hall before people were counting his black belt triangle/leg lock tally.

I think the best points made in this thread about inverted guard were by Zankou, saying that developing a solid inverted guard, in combination with a solid turtle guard, will make passing your open guard just plain disgusting. I've done a LITTLE bit of experimenting with it, and it gives you all kinds of new options and openings from open guard where, without it, you have to go completely defensive.
