Finding the perfect angles from the guard

POST
In this excerpt from one of the live classes, Master Rickson shows the importance of constantly finding the perfect angles from the guard, even when the guard is open.

This practice will also benefit people who like the sport side of jiujitsu. Click here to watch the whole class.
