Closed Guard Passing volume 1: From Closed to Open
Closed Guard Passing Volume 1: From Closed to Open by Shawn Williams is a complete system for opening the closed guard — everything you need to win the posture battle, stand up, and get the legs open against a guard player who is genuinely trying to stop you.
If you find yourself getting swept the moment you stand up, getting your leg scooped every time you try to pass, losing your posture before you ever get a grip, or simply aren't sure what to do and when to do it — then this is for you.
In this set you will learn:
✅ A complete system for opening the closed guard
✅ How to win posture against overhooks, underhooks, and cross collar grips
✅ The two signals that tell you when to reset — and why starting over is never a problem
✅ Five different ways to stand and open the guard, each with its own troubleshooting
✅ What to do when your leg gets scooped, and why it happens in the first place
✅ How to read the open guard so you always know what to do next
✅ And so much more
