The Everyday Jiu Jitsu Podcast Ep 47: Donkey: The New Guard

This week is all about the Donkey Guard! This position has recently gained popularity in the current BJJ landscape, but it has actually been around for many years. One thing I absolutely hate in Jiu Jitsu is when my opponent knows more than me, especially in a position or a system that I have completely failed to address! Therefore, it was absolutely critical that I learned the power of this underappreciated position. The Donkey Guard is simple to use and very effective. You can use it to sweep and submit your opponent under many rule sets. It is also an asymmetrical position in that you have the ability to attack your opponent and they do not have the ability to attack you. Furthermore, I was shocked at how seamlessly the Donkey Guard fit into my pre-existing game. I hope in a short amount of time, you can smash your training partners and opponents with the reverse cow girl… I mean, reverse closed (donkey) guard.Further Study/Resources:-Reverse Cowgirl… I Mean Closed Guard by Owen Jones-The Donkey Guard by Jeff Glover-Matt Kwan vs Daniel Sathler 2023 IBJJF Portland Open (Heelhook from Donkey Guard): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJQ0iENvDFIMatt Kwan vs Daniel Sathler IBJJF Portland Open 2023Black Belt Adult Middleweight Divisionwww.youtube.com-Donkey Guard Escape!!
