The Invisible Collar holder unloads the neck, opens the high-leg clinch, and restores a facing bottom guard with inside frames before selecting another attack.
Begin as the bottom holder of the Invisible Collar high-leg enclosure. Release all neck pressure before changing the high-leg connections.
Open the enclosure through the hips while keeping the raised knees comfortable and supported. Retain inside frames as the legs lower so you remain facing the opponent. Restore ordinary Closed Guard/Bottom when the distance permits the ankles to close comfortably. If the ankles cannot close, recognize Open Guard/Bottom instead of forcing the high enclosure back together.
Practice cooperatively with controlled movement. Stop at any tap, verbal signal, or distress; release all joint or neck pressure before changing direction. Do not force a trapped knee, shoulder, or neck to preserve the route.
