A Damn Good Guard is a closed-guard control position and offensive system taught primarily by JitzLive, emphasizing arm trapping and hip displacement to set up submissions. The core mechanic involves securing an overhook on one side of the opponent's body while using leg positioning to stretch and control their posture. According to JitzLive's detailed breakdown, the position is entered by popping the opponent's hands down (either from a posting attempt or when their head is buried in the chest), then shooting an underhook or overhook depending on their arm placement—using either a c-cup grip or monkey paw to control the shoulder. Once established, the guard prioritizes keeping hips elevated and feet away from the opponent's body to maximize stretch and prevent their escape. The position serves as a staging point for multiple submissions: JitzLive demonstrates transitions to omaplata and triangle choke, with particular emphasis on the triangle finish. The triangle setup requires pulling the knee to the face and shooting the leg around the neck while maintaining hip pressure and proper angle, ultimately locking high on the ankle to create a secure finish. JitzLive stresses that power matters less than correct spacing and angle—a properly angled triangle can be finished through pure mechanics without strength.

A Damn Good Guard is a 10th Planet guard position — part of Eddie Bravo's named position system. The naming reflects Bravo's unconventional approach to making BJJ positions memorable. (Bravo, 10th Planet system)
Pop your opponent's hand or wrist, then shoot over the top while pushing their other arm away at the elbow. You can use a c-cup or monkey paw grip to stretch them out while you shrimp your hips out from underneath them.
Keep your hips out by constantly pushing to prevent them from getting under you, and shrimp the leg on the side where you have the overhook up nice and high while pulling the arm tight.
Get a good angle by wrapping around them and looking toward their ear, lock it up nice and high on your ankle, then pull the leg tight and cave your heel down to squeeze—you should be able to finish smoothly without struggling.
When you pop and swim inside, you can move directly into the position, but if you pop and shoot down, you have to go up to get their arm since their hands will be on the ground, and you can wrap around the head to get a tight lock.
