That first tip upped my guard retention literally 1000%. Literally just hearing Gordon say "don't let them control your head and shoulders" and using that frame against a knee cut made it click for me

Mine was going for the hip every time. That would leave the cross face open and every time I would kick myself for letting them get the head that easy. It's because I'm framing against the hip thinking that's the best way to keep distance. Thanks chewy

My biggest hang up here with this advice is the iron squirrel thing you do. On a frame like that I would highly suggest your legs be involved, if they get passed you legs then big shrimp out create space get the legs back in. Guard retention is more on how you move your hips than it is how you frame. Frame is the last resort, with hip movement to get the legs and feet in as primary movement. I’m in the middle of teaching my students guard passing and guard retention. The thing I harp on the most is hip movement. We don’t want to rely upon frames. We follow that by connection. Constant connection with both sides of the coin. In general this is great video for white and blues, maybe even new purples. I personally just wouldn’t ever use that iron squirrel thing, it locks in your arm and good player will squash that arm and trap it with their chest then if you do come up with and under hook there you open yourself up to a darce attack.

That’s cool bro! You definitely don’t have to use it. That said, it works great for me. Like anything else in BJJ there’s more than 1 way to do things. And as far as the darce, it’s possible, but what move in BJJ isn’t without its counters? Heck even guard retention that involves bringing the legs back in can make someone vulnerable to leg attacks or misdirection.

This is absolute gold. I'm still a no stripe white belt, and am messing around with half guard, but find myself so static in the position at times and it becomes a case of how long I can survive before I get passed, number 4 will absolutely give me less time getting flattened out on my back. Thank you for all your content Chewey!

So true, so many good mindsets and technique. I''ll be experimenting with the iron squirl position, I really really want to feel confident to be able to feel confident to esscape side control. My guard retention for a white belt isn't horrible (in my success with higher belts), I've studied and experimented alot with it. But knowing when to retreat, go to defense, and setting up escapes is some thing I want to get REALLY REALLY GOOD AT. THANK YOU!

An upperbelt who tookmme under his wing once saw how I was training rention and he said: retention is when your guard suck, and rentetion mean you'r jiujitsu is profusly bleeding. You should never retention. he mentionned names f good grapplers who, indeed, never or barely rentent. They attack the guard passer, the wrestle up vs the passer, they ankle pick the passer, so on and so forth. He then proceed to teach me his lasso and spyder. I was mezmorized and couldnt pass his lasso. Then he said, you see, cause my guard is decent, I wont ever have to do retention.

@@tededo Awesome, great perspective. That makes sense to, my game is developing on how I want to go about things, I try to take a lot from wrestlers to stay dominant then taking power riding into account ( still learning, but concepts of it) but my real game lies on my different guards. x. delaheva. I tend to wrestle up when I can so I don't have to play this exhausting game of defending my self from my guard/side. When I originally commented on this I was purposely working on the retention, and developing a high pumble, and at the end of the day my mind came to this..why? why all this, when I should always be getting 4 points of contact, and connecting to them, if I'm in a state where they are running around me, grabbing my legs and passing, I'm not using my guard right. Just pure mindsets and perspective and REMEMBERING to do whats needed to end in more favorable positions. Connecting and being sticky and working from these once in position has been game changer.
