Here are some tips, pics and videos for my English friends.
- If you want to play on top, never let your opponent close the guard.
- If you are in your opponent's closed guard, make posture and keep your elbows stuck to your body.
- There are many ways to open the closed guard but the most efficient is standing up.
- There are at least three ways not to let your opponent recover a comfortable guard. Go for the half guard, go for the double under hook guard pass or use your knee like "a bow of a boat". You, guys, know what I mean!
- Now be prepared to face a sneaky "De La Riva" hook.
- Never go for a single under hook guard pass without controlling both the legs.

Even a small mistake can be the last one.
Watch out when you are playing on top.
I want to thank Savio and Richi that made my jiu-jitsu classes in England possible. I wish you all the best. See you soon.
