Hey Jeff,

The first two are not only gurads, but technics as well. Called Posta Longa, you have to do this if someone grips yo with both hands. Then, while looking which foot he has forward you have to take on one of the two Posta Longas (you have to get behind fis foot which is forward) it throws your enemy to the ground almost without doing anything - you may do, a rotation of your hip or pivot on your forward foot completelly if he's some giant, but all things summed up it shouldn't take much effort or power to achive it.
I simply like this move. It's so easy,elegand, and yet sophisticated.

yours,

Hey Guy's

The Fiore unarmed gaurd's are realy just very basic wrestling stance's.


This is from themat.com

Stand them up straight keeping the same hand and foot position's and they appear to be in the same stance's as the Fiore stance's, guy in red, hand's low watching and waiting, the guy in blue, hand's at shoulder level(look at how much bend is in the elbow)looking for a way to gain a hold.
