This is a personal favorite of mine. I’m someone who enjoys implying the butterfly guard and transitioning to X-Guard or sweeping my opponent. Now possessing a strong open guard will is a great tool to stopping a pass or helping when escaping away from someone’s top control. In Jiu-Jitsu it is important to have a strong game in all aspects and all positions. Those places where you find it to become the most difficult is probably a position that will happen to you when it counts.
