The guard Retention Anthology: Around and Under
By Lachlan Giles & Ariel Tabak
Lachlan Giles and Ariel Tabak’s Around and Under course focuses on keeping guard as the passer moves around or underneath the legs. General concepts and movements support sections on around-the-legs, north-south and under-the-legs retention. Specific passing situations and rolling breakdowns connect that material to live exchanges.
Is this for you?
- You lose guard to torreandos, leg drags, movement toward north-south or under-the-legs passing.
