00:00 - When trying to do a knee cut to pass the guard, we are often met with a strong knee shield by the guard player. As the top player, to get around the knee shield, we can post on their shoulder and their shin as we step over their knee shield leg putting ourselves in a butterfly half guard. Then, we switch sides and shuffle our feet as we leg drag their knee shield leg. If at any time the bottom player lets their knee drift away from their chest, we can enter the smash pass position. If they are doing the right thing, keeping their knee to their chest, then we will leg drag.

00:01 - When retaining guard against a passer outside camping with a hip and knee post, LIMI discusses some ideas on dealing with the frame on your near leg. He talks about wanting to go to the far side of the passer's grip to break the grip by pulling it towards you. This gives you inside position once you break their grip and allows you to then transition to an inside bicep tie frame on their arm. From here, you can recover your near leg (low leg) or you can look to recover your outside leg to enter x-guard or k-guard. Regardless of our guard retention strategy, we should be looking to go into offense after we retain our guard.
