@@colincharles9034 thank you

[@robe8041]

Super helpful. Hey could you teach what the top guy should be doing too? I like when you said you want to keep his knees apart, which means he wants to keep his knees close? I want to understand what game is being played but most instructionals only focus on one perspective at a time. Thank you

@@OnGuardBJJ what's the guy on top trying to do?

[@OnGuardBJJ]

@robe8041 generally, the top player is trying to backstep to the same side as the entangled leg and disconnect/control the guard player's legs. This will create passing opportunities.

[@OnGuardBJJ]

@robe8041 top player can try to just base out for 1 game, disconnect legs but stay in the pocket for game 2, completely escape all connections for game 3, or pass the guard for game 4. These are just different constraints/tasks you can give the top player.
