The Heisen Guard
A Simple Side Guard That Creates Sweeps, Submissions, and Constant Transitions

This is a simple, repeatable side guard that anyone can use—regardless of age, flexibility, or athleticism—to create immediate offensive threats from positions where most people stall or get passed.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in guard, this system turns that frustration into offense.
