I'm commenting from Japan. I am a white belt. I first learned about the k-guard from this site. I immediately tried it in a sparring session with a white belt, and was able to get a clean back.It's a good technique！ When I tried it with a color belt, at about the 1:53 mark, he turned his upper body to the right and was facing me. I will practice more!
Hi there. In the Nogi version you demonstrate, when hooking the left leg over the back of the knee, you shoot it deep to hook the far hip (like deep De La Riva). In this one it is shallow. What is the reason for this? Is it because in the no gi version the opponent is standing, so it allows more control over far leg?
