Wrestling Up From Guard
By Dante Leon
Dante Leon’s Wrestling Up From Guard focuses on rising into attacks from the bottom. Distance management and forcing reactions introduce material from X guard and De La Riva; later sections address reverse De La Riva, whizzers, snapdowns and butterfly attacks. Its three volumes connect wrestling to existing guard positions.
