Long sit
Also known as Seated Guard — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: colloquial
Colloquial — seated-guard with legs extended
Long sit is the colloquial name for the seated guard configuration with the bottom player’s legs extended forward — distinct from the bent-knee seated guard variants.
Etymology. “Long sit” describes the leg-extension geometry; the legs are long rather than bent. The compound is informal coaching vocabulary that distinguishes the extended-leg variant from butterfly, half, and other bent-leg seated configurations.
Mechanics. The extended-leg configuration provides distance leverage — the bottom player can use the legs to push, kick, or block from a longer range than the bent-knee variants.
Cross-reference. “Long guard,” “open guard,” and “butt scoot guard” are related names. Full mechanical coverage on Seated Guard.
