Is lapel guard making a comeback? I thought it kind of died when Keenan released his lapel guard killer series! I used to love playing lapel guard but found it increasingly hard to set up against higher level players so I pretty much gave up on it a couple of years ago and now only play with it for fun against white belts 😂

I hope so! lol!

To be honest, I think only a very small percentage of people actually know how to defend it well. And if you add other lapel guards to your repertoire (squid guard for example), you can use them together to create dilemmas. I think people don't play lapel guards too much because they are complicated and hard to learn. But that's my obviously biased opinion LOL.
