Single Leg X X Guard Retention by Nicolas Meregali

[@Jiujitsugirl-bn4uk]

This is very helpful 🙏🏼

[@alintampa]

Many other x-guard players say to stay flat on your back. Is this different bc you are over hooking the leg instead of under hooking(having the ankle next to your neck)?

[@stantoncochran536]

No it’s not different because of that. The others are wrong. It’s much easier to backstep if you let them come back towards you and put your back flat on the map because then that means they’re weight is on their feet and allows them to do the back step pass much easier.

Grey belt

I have no idea what color belt that guy is wearing. Faded black? Dirty blue? Grey belt in the 5-15 year old division?
