Today’s video is going to be a little bit longer, but it’ll be worth it if you’re struggling with your Guard Retention.

A message came in from a viewer named Collin who says his guard retention sucks, it gets shredded, and he wants some tips to get better at this area of his BJJ.

With that being said, as a guy who came to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from Wrestling, I’ll give you a couple reason my guard retention sucked at first and then give you some of the solutions I’ve found in my Jiu-Jitsu journey.

I’ll give you 8 different tips in this video, in no order of importance.

Hopefully, if you’re struggling with your guard retention like Collin, then you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Elbow-knee connection is one of the most important tools in the guard retention toolbox, and if you want your opponent to have a tough time passing your guard then you have to develop this skill.
