2m 49s
When you enter the X-Guard, you bring your hips underneath your opponent's hips and use your legs to control his legs. One of your knees must be in front of his hip, and one behind to create the X configuration on her legs. The 3 positions are (1) normal X-Guard where the X of your legs is on his far leg, (2) Split X-Guard where the X of your legs is on both of his legs, and (3) Single Leg X-Guard where the X of your legs is on one of his legs.
