The most common type of opponent you’ll find yourself going up against in jiu jitsu, is someone who has decided to pull guard before you’ve even stepped on the mats. This will usually happen in situations where you’ve developed a reputation for being a danger during stand up.
How do you recognize this person? Well, they’ll most likely look like they’re sitting in a squat. Super low with their weight back. Take a look at Easton here demonstrating the anatomy of a guard puller.
You’ll also notice, if you look into a guard puller’s eyes, you’ll see a little twinkle just before they’re gonna pull. It’s time to exploit that. Get ready to launch your opponents into the abyss.
