I'm currently kinda out of ideas on WHAT to learn for myself in BJJ. Like i'm developing overall understanding and developing my own game BUT I've always liked to have a small personal "project", a more narrow topic or technique I like to take into focus and understand (better). Can be a single technique OR a bit wider "game" or set of elements. Shoot your suggestions and the thing in reply with most thumbs up will be my personal topic for a week starting tomorrow. P.S. Include youtube links! P.P.S. Jokes are welcome but they don't count as submissions. P.P.S. "Cool" stuff will have an advantage if it's a tie BUT if I seem the recommendation to be unrealistic to be a move that I can actually integrate in my game and practice, that won't count.

I have (legal :) ) access to Lapel Encoclypedia. So that's already something I tinker with. Leglocks is always a topic, I haven't considered outside sankaku an important part, might do. K-guard is a part of my game already since way back when (ca 2015?) :) We call it beartrap. https://www.youtube.com/w[...]cHcRWi4XGc The 'short' K-guard was something I found out about only after Lachlan's ADCC run.

nice vid! I discovered the K Guard way later and found out that is has many names, but first time I hear the Bear Trap ^^

K-Guard was named by Neil Melanson after his coach Karo Parisyan, who used it in MMA, here's some in his fight with GSP in 2004

Aaron Milam calls it the Squirrel Guard
Jon Thomas has a gi variant and calls it the Keymaster Guard
