Position · Open Guard
You roll back onto your shoulders with your hips up and your legs facing him, feet on his hips, biceps or knees, and spin on your shoulders to follow him as he moves. Your weight is on the upper back and one shoulder blade, never on the neck, with your head turned to the side; the feet keep him at a distance. If he runs around your legs, keep spinning to recover with guard retention; if he clears or steps through your legs, the exposed leg gives a leg lock entry; if he leans over you, his head comes between your legs for the triangle. His goal is to stack you onto your neck and pass. Do not let him put weight straight down on you: turn to a shoulder before he can stack.
Solo inversions 3 × 6 each side on soft mats, then 1-minute guard retention rounds.
