5’1 and 130, i find it really difficult to keep my guard closed and especially because i’m just starting out i think it’s important to know and to learn more things while opening up my guard/from open guard
I'm 5'7'' and aROUnd 220, and definitely switch to open (knee shield) once my closed guard is opened, or if I'm not able to close it at all on my much larger training partners. Sound advice!

You are the best. This is very helpful

Thank you for addressing this. 5’6, 29inch inseam. Primarily open and half player
Half guard/lock down works much better for me, at least to stall the training partner
Idk, Russ looks much smaller than you.
