Multiple time world champion Andre Galvao teaches the very first worm guard you should learn during 9am fundamentals class at Atos Hq on 03/11/2018.
Use your opponent's gi as an unfair grip. The lapel guard is a way to maximize your leverage and maximize your results against bigger, stronger, younger grapplers.
With a easy approach to locking down opponents and working for the finish, you can have a new total gameplan around the guard by using this grip style.
"Andre Galvao is one of the greatest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes of all time, with 6 IBJJF World Championship titles, 10 IBJJF Pan American Championships, and 6 ADCC World Championship titles (4x as the ADCC Super Fight Champion). He received his black belt from Luis “Careca” Dagmar, having also worked extensively with Fernando Terere. Galvao is also a former mixed martial artist, with an MMA record of 5-2-0 before he retired to lead the Atos Jiu-Jitsu Academy's Headquarters in San Diego, California. Today, Atos is considered one of the best jiu-jitsu academies in the world, producing World Champion athletes at all levels, from juvenile and white belt all the way to black belt."
