The forward/reverse shrimp is in my opinion one of the most important tools for guard retention, yet it is also commonly not taught or misunderstood. When your hips get turned to face away from your opponent it becomes very difficult to retain your guard as you can no longer loop with your outside leg or even from on your opponent, the forward shrimp when done properly allows you to both create distance from your opponent and also re-center your hips so you can engage your legs back into the fight. This technique has been a pivotal part of my guard defense and I use it all the time. It is a much better choice to the other popular choices of turtling or doing the gramby roll.

This was a question sent to me by a subscriber. “What if I suck at the thing I love?” My first thought was, “ouch!” Then when I thought about it further I was like… we’ve all felt that way before. But then you might say, “But I really do suck!” I know I did once too. The good news is that everyone eventually will have a breakthrough. Listen in as I discuss this very (I hope) helpful conversation. Happy training ninjas.
