X guard entries into the backside 5050 and Cross Ashi Garami

In this sample clip from a seminar I taught in Dallas, Texas at Rogue Jiu Jitsu I show the X guard is one of the most powerful guards to begin off balancing an opponent from. A benefit we can gain from off balancing an opponent from X guard is a strong defensive reaction resisting our sweeping action. In such situations we can use this reaction to chain into further attacks such as those demonstrated here where we entangle the leg either in a backside 5050 or in a Cross Ashi Garami.
Study all of the major methods of entangling a leg with my instructionals on the topic available on my website RobertDegleBJJOnline.com

I hope Robert can still compete and qualify for ADCC 2021

Such a great detail, go to cross ashi if his leg is too far to lace the backside 50/50. Really good stuff! Thank you!
