The Platypus guard is a set of moves that is fairly original, I’m sure others do very similar things and have their own names for it but for my friends and I we settled on “platypus guard”. When I started fighting MMA my friends referred to me as a platypus because I didn’t look like I belonged but somehow managed to get along just fine. The guard takes attempts to take over the side control position from being controlled by the top player to being controlled by the person on the bottom usually considered to be in the worse position. After watching this video pack you should be comfortable not only sweeping and re guarding but hitting a variety of subs from the so called inferior position.
