Today we did a quick overview of spider guard and how to get out of it. We also did the review of transitioning into the sitting guard.
From the sitting guard we learned a few positions that I have never seen before.
DeLaHiva
DelaHiva is achieved when you have sitting guard and the person puts their leg in your guard. You sit the the left angle and hook with right foot in the crease behind the knee or on top of the knee. The left leg is what really makes it the Hiva which is when you pull in from the outside and hook with your foot on the inside pointing up. Grab their leg with your hand and grab their sleeve with your other hand.
The X Guard which has three positions. All of these are achieved from sitting guard where the person is standing with their leg in front of you. Sit back and sideways to get hook inside. The lkeft leg is going to go inside and around into heel hook. Inside and up, or inside and down for sweep. It's hard to explain but I can do them and that's all that matters. See yah next time. Got to see my son before he goes to bed.
