Standard Closed Guard

Guard Positions

Closed Guard is the bottom partner's legs locked behind the top partner's back, and it is the one position where being underneath is an advantage. The lock stops the top partner going anywhere, so the whole exchange becomes a fight over posture: broken posture belongs to the bottom, upright posture belongs to the top.
