Guard Punch Blocks

Here is a lightning-fast read on my strategy when my opponent is punching from inside my guard:


1. Go to "stage 1" - hook head & hook arm.
2. Deflect low punches by "swimming" and by switching sides.
3. If opponent breaks away, go to "stage 4" - feet on hips, keep him at bay.


I personally do not like "stage 3" as taught in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for my body type. It is a great technique, but at my size, it is not likely to come into play. That said, I know it and practice it, just in case I'm ever attacked by a man who is 6'8" and 500 pounds.
