Baiting Opponent Into Z Guard by Craig Jones

Overview

Craig Jones demonstrates how to bait an opponent into Z Guard by controlling their preferred passing leg. He explains using an inside hook to limit lateral movement and a reverse De La Riva to prevent the knee from touching the ground. By extending the legs and dropping the knee, he secures the position, emphasizing that this setup forces the opponent into their weaker side for easier attacks.
