Opening Closed Guard without Standing

May 23, 2010 by admin

Saulo Riberio demonstrates how to open a closed guard without standing. First, Saulo discusses a few small details about placing your knee on your opponent's butt. Instead of placing your knee in the middle (where you lose your base and can easily get swept), place you knee slightly on the outside of the butt. Next, Saulo discusses the importance of keeping your posting arm's elbow in contact with your opponent's leg to prevent your opponent from attacking the arm and breaking your posture. To open the guard, you step your leg back at a 45 degree angle to so you are perpendicular to your opponent. Then push down on his leg while turning your leg in a circular path away from your opponent to open the closed guard.

Great to hear from you Anirvan. Yes, the Like count is a srhnthaod for number of interactions or activity on that item. The question about whether a high Like count is beneficial has a lot of dimensions. It's clear that an item with more Likes more interaction will get greater prominence in the Facebook news feed. It's the difference between a one line entry and a full entry with snippet text and an image. What's not clear is whether the number of Likes creates momentum. If I see a high LIke number, am I more likely to Like that item? Do the rich get richer through a subtle form of peer pressure? I'm not sure exactly how you'd test this since the number of variables would make it difficult to compare like content with different Like numbers. I do think it benefits Facebook since the numbers speak to usage and ubiquity. A not-so-subtle form of public relations for the functionality.
