Opens up when they attack high guard, when they overhook your arm for an armbar, or when you break their closed guard and immediately drive their knees toward their chest.
They’ll try to push your shoulders, angle their hips to recover guard, or underhook your leg to sweep. Keep your posture low, elbows tight, and continue walking around their legs.

Opens up when you flatten a knee‑shield player, when you win the underhook in half guard, or when they turn slightly on their side to defend pressure.
They’ll try to frame on your shoulder, re‑pummel for an underhook, or insert a knee shield to block your angle. Clear the frames early and keep your weight heavy on their upper body.

Opens up when your knee slice gets blocked, when they build a strong knee shield, or when they turn slightly on their side and expose space behind their hips.
They’ll try to chase the underhook, frame on your hip, or turn onto their side to recover guard. Keep your elbow tight, block their near hip, and maintain chest pressure as you free your leg.

Opens up when you break open closed guard, when they play open guard with loose grips, or when they extend their legs to push you away and expose their hips.
They’ll try to square their hips, sit up to chase grips, or pummel their legs back inside. Keep your grips firm, maintain distance with footwork, and commit to the angle once their hips turn.
