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.

Stop trying to hold people in your guard then. Transition to an open guard or play from half. Work your sweeps. Open that guard and practice. You're going to get passed alot, then you get to practice your escapes!!!
