Part 5: Strongest Kguard Backtake + Kguard Details

Comments

Hey, great question! The key to stopping them from backstepping and making this move work smoothly is taking the weight off the leg you’re attacking in K-guard. Use your hooks and feet to shift their weight onto the other leg. If their weight stays on that leg, they won’t be able to backstep. If their leg gets heavy, though, it not only makes it harder to pull the leg across your body, but it also opens the backstep for them. That said, a backstep isn’t the end of the world—you’ve got plenty of strong follow-up attacks to capitalize on their reaction! Keep working on keeping their weight on the far leg and you’ll see a big difference.

This came up when I was drilling this today. I’m not sure what would prevent the back step. When they back stepped they would fall into a position where I could try to enter legs or come up on top, but I’m not sure if I’m missing something. Have you figured anything out?

Hey Levi, is there anything keeping your opponent from just back step rolling and facing you like they would if you were going for a backside 5050 entry while you’re in the middle of working to take the back and therefore messing up your sequence?
