Worm guard worm guard...

After the recent fights of Keenan Cornelius, the world got exploded with a kind of new technique, the WORM GUARD. Just like berimbolo from de la riva, the lapel control/ guard evolved to this new tech. Here comes a video of an attack from this guard, brought to you by our bro Shaun!

Congrats new blue belt Gabe!
