WWE Superstar Classic Action Figures

A lot of beginners have trouble maintaining top position in guard. They get swept and wind up flat on their back. But even worse, they have no idea how they got there. “It happened so fast,” they’ll say. While the person lying on the ground may not know how it happened, their opponent had been working the sweep for a full 30 seconds before he made the move. Observers saw it coming but the victim had no clue.

There are a lot of suggestions out there telling you how to defend your guard. Some of these are: do not allow the other fighter to get a hold of your knees, find an angle, or drive your legs to the ground. However, there is one suggestion that I often see novices failing to do. You must control your opponent’s head to help you defend your guard.
