Having a hard time understanding how to play a modern open guard?

Since your very first day on the mats, you saw more experienced people surrounding you in the training room just chillin’ on their back, looking super stoic, playing open guards while smoothly picking and choosing their grips from sleeves to collars, from collars to pants in every combination imaginable, and there you are, trying to adapt, but it’s not as easy as it looks right?

You try to play open guard but your arms and legs don’t seem to work together in your favor…

Playing open guard is tricky even for the most experienced in the room. Jiu Jitsu is very broad. Even if you’ve been on the mats for years, having a crafty open guard isn’t guaranteed. Yes, you’ve been there, done that… but I have just one question for you. Is your guard just as sharp as Liera’s?

Michael Liera Jr. has been making a name for himself as being a technician and his competition results speak for themselves. His crafty guard and intelligent take on jiu jitsu are what earned him multiple IBJJF Worlds, Pan Ams, European titles, and much, much more.
