• Posture first, always - their whole guard game needs your head down
• Stand to break, pass on your feet, never kneel in their traps
• Every grip they put on you gets stripped or answered immediately

• Splitting one arm deep and one arm home - that is the triangle
• Trying to submit them from inside their own guard
• Panic-exploding when they sweep you; frame, wall-walk, get up

If it hits the ground, posture tall and strike in short, safe shots. Pass only when the guard opens for free. Give nothing away in round one.

• Tall posture frame
• Standing guard break
• Leg drag pass
• Short elbows from posture
• Stack and smash pass

• If caught in a triangle: posture up, stack them onto their shoulders, and grind to side control
• If your arm gets trapped for the armbar: hitchhike, stack, step your leg over their face
• If swept under you: frame on their hips, build to a hip, and wall-walk or stand and re-engage

• Posture up, elbows in!
• Stand to break the guard!
• Strip those grips!
• Pass on your feet!
