It’s crucial to keep your knees above your hip line. Here are two ways to do that!

If you keep your partner in front of you, you will have an easier time retaining your guard.

Here’s some tips on how you can do that but stay on your back.

1. Use your knees to generate momentum and reduce the surface area of your body.
2. Use your elbows to move. If your partner is close enough, you can frame on your partner.
3. Avoid putting your hands on the floor. Ready to frame on your knees.
