What are your primary guards?

Sambo234 · 05:18 PM

What are your primary(or favorite) guards for BJJ GI(taking advantage of grips etc) and NOGI.

and of course full guard is a given

GI(I play all of these more frequently than full):
Spider I play most frequently
Butterfly

NOGI:
Rubber guard
Half guard (lotta leg locks

)
some butterfly

Gi/No-Gi: Sitting/Turtle
Butterfly/Half

I usually just adapt my grips but play the same games

You would need some amazing forearm and grip strength for no-gi spider ... I've never thought to try

open, half, & turtle

Gi: All kinds of crazy open guard.

No-gi: All kinda of crazy slippery guards with more scrambling.

I like just old school full guard. Then again, you guys prolly know more slick maneuvers then I.

I'm still a beginner, but I find I'm most comfortable in butterfly and half guard. I don't like having full guard at all.

I am always experimenting with stuff, but I use butterfly a lot, some half(defensivly), and the open TK guard. There is some other stuff that I am experimenting with right now.

A lot of half, high and rubber. I don't really roll gi all that much anymore.
