Coach Tanner Woods is breaking down two effective ways to open the closed guard: the log cutter and the can opener. 💥

Both techniques focus on creating pressure, disrupting your opponent’s posture and control, and forcing the guard to open so you can begin advancing your position. The key is understanding when to apply each option and maintaining strong posture, balance, and pressure throughout the guard break.

Train smart. Apply pressure. Pass with purpose. 🔥
