Back in BJJ Pajamas and covering the x-guard
Tonight marked the first night back in the pajama game this year for me.
The class was only 6 in the fundamentals class and 4 in the advanced class which meant that there was a lot of time for details and drilling with everyone, which means drilling with different body types and weights. This usually means problems for me since everyone is bigger and heavier than me.
We covered grip fighting to the single leg takedown, then the butterfly guard transitioning to single x-guard then to full x-guard and sweeping to side control. This was then all rolled into one and then drilled to perfection against everyone!
I quite like using single leg x-guard, since I am quite bendy this lends itself to me (that and De La Riva guard) I just need to drill it some more and then get used to it whilst rolling.
Here is Marcelo Garcia showing how it is done!
