Closed guard
The closed guard is the typical guard position. The legs are hooked behind the back of the opponent, preventing him or her from standing up or moving away. The opponent needs to open the legs up to be able to improve positioning. The bottom combatant might transition between the open and closed guard, as the open guard allows for better movement, but also increased risk in the opponent passing the guard.
