Jujitsu X-Guard

The x-guard is a typical Jujitsu lock, where you lie on you back and interrupt your
opponents stance with your legs. The x-guard is a good base to make your opponent
fall too, to protect from further attacks or just to win some time.
It is called x-guard, because if you look on it from above, the legs form an "X"

 

 

Technical description: Jujitsu X-Guard

  • This description is for a x-guard, where your opponent stands with the left leg forward.
  • Make sure the left foot of your opponent is over and not under your shoulder.
  • Use your right hand to grab your opponents leg about one inch over his knee.
    When you do this, your right upper arm should be parallel to his left calf.
  • Your left hand stays free ( to do something else )
  • Place your right knee under his left thigh and the ankle of your right foot on the left side of his hip.
  • Put your right instep behind his knee.
  • Press both legs towards your opponent and pull down with your right hand.
