While you should always strive to get on top in MMA, there will be times when you will end up on bottom and in guard. When that happens, relax, don’t panic and work your technique.
You want to be very close to your opponent by using underhooks, overhooks or the Lister grip. These 3 are my go to grips. Some people also use the rubber guard and the rat guard with great success. When you keep your opponent close it is impossible to get hit.
You can also be far from your opponent which then makes it easier to stand up.
Mid distance is dangerous and that is when you get hit most often.
Switch guard priorities. Usually the priorities for a BJJer look like this:
- Submit
- Sweep
- Stand up.
In MMA it should be:
- Stand up
- Sweep
- Sumbit.
