In this seminar, we practiced the basic SAW techniques from the guard position such as “Ude Garami” and “Sweeps”.
Also how to enter some “Leg locks” From the guard (How to hide your legs from your opponent when you enter the leg locks).
In SAW, we recommend always taking the top position and not intentionally putting yourself in the guard position, such as with the “Pulling Guard”.
However, if your opponent is bigger, stronger, better at takedowns, or depending on the situation, you may have no choice but to end up in the guard position.
In martial arts mindset, you cannot survive in the realities of the street unless you always prepare the worst-case scenario.
Therefore, we always prepare being in the worst possible position in a street situation and practice a lot of counter-techniques from all sorts of positions.
