Do NOT jump CLOSED GUARD❗🥋

Had a higher belt jump guard when we were supposed to be pulling guard. Partially Tore my PCL and LCL and was out for two months. Don’t fucking jump guard especially if your partner isn’t expecting it! Thank you Jordan!

One of the things I was nervous about competing at blue as a masters 3, aside from wrist locks being open, was guard jumping is also now legal. Fortunately, not many masters 3 out there jumping guard 😆

There is a girl at my gym who constantly jumps guard. I once told her not to, and she got really mad. I don't know how to approach her about it.

Any tips?

Maybe allow slams when someone jumps guard? 😈

I believe that jumping the close guard should only be used in situations like tournaments, but gym or training it should only be used either mutual with an equal or higher belt (height, and weight is a crucial factor) or not used at all. I liked using this when I first became a blue belt, but as I begin to focus on certain fundamentals and safety for both me and my training partners, I urge a lot of people to not use it unless it is under the circumstances previously mentioned. Hope this can settle for both sides.
