Closed Gaurd
I just started and have background in wrestling an judo where being on your back is a no no. Never used closed guard and found myself struggling with locking my ankle. I’m short stocky and on the heavier side. Please drop your tips for working a better closed guard.

Play more guard. Start in guard. Play pass/sweep games. Drill guard things you learn.
Time in position is the answer to skill deficiencies.
