Note

The guide separates jujitsu from any other grappling based martial art.

There is no martial art in the world with a guard as developed as the one we have in jiu-jitsu.

There are many types of guards you can use, depending on how you manage the distance between you and your opponent, but the three main guards are closed, half, and open.

The guide is a dangerous position with a plethora of attacks and reversals in constant evolution, especially in sport jiu jitsu where you have the freedom to create new moves without worrying about strikes.
