At this session I demoed the 5 Guard techniques.

These are listed at the Jujutsu sets thread:

The Guard is where you are going to end up if the fight goes to the floor.

If your Ram and Sprawl fail you need to pull Guard

If you are taken down and end up on your back you need to pull Guard

If you achieve the Mount and can't maintain it and get upa'd, you will have the opponent in your Guard

With the Mount the most important aspect is maintaining it - if you can do that you only need the Americana to finish the fight. That is why Mount training focusses on Maintaining.

With Guard you need a variety of moves, so we have our 5 list for Guard.

Also in Guard you can sweep the opponet to regain the Top or Back Mount.

In a newaza match if you can't get the opponent on his back to take the Mount, you need to roll to your back and pull Guard.

Also, for Ladies Self Defence, Guard is the rape position, the place where you really are at the Last Resort.

So as part of Groundbud, members need to learn the 5 Guard moves.
