attacker; it can also apply to the “inside hip,” “inside foot,” etc.

Outside arm or leg: this term refers to the limb or body part that is farther away
from the attacker; it can also apply to the “outside hip,” “outside foot,” etc.

Burst: any explosive movement (usually, forward) of the feet. We “burst” in
when we do gun defenses, stick defenses, etc.

Guard: a ground position in which one fighter is on his back and the other is on
top inside the bottom person’s legs. In this case, the top person is in the bottom
person’s guard.
