Things will change. Have fun :)Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006145854650996821.post-58481909623941569362010-07-10T10:51:38.782-07:002010-07-10T10:51:38.782-07:00Thanks, ladies!

I see far more guard battles than anything else at big tournaments like the Pan, Mundials etc. When you're ready to move on, you will.Georgettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705282002904234217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006145854650996821.post-62397433291999894462010-07-09T19:30:57.896-07:002010-07-09T19:30:57.896-07:00I too am very comfortable having my opponent in my...I too am very comfortable having my opponent in my closed guard. But I know I need to learn other positions, so when I am not training for a tournament I let my opponent pass and I work.
