AOJ – Gui Mendes – Open Guard – Update

one of the most understated aspects of trying to pass open guard is just how tiring it is. While your opponent sits back waiting for you to engage, you will likely be moving quickly side-to-side while trying to get a convenient angle to attack and pass his guard. When you do, you will likely have to try and use pressure or agility to pass, and this uses some of your physical capacity. Playing open guard for too long can drain your energy, so if you haven’t been training your cardio well enough, you probably don’t want to try and attack an open guard player for too long.
