Any good advice to a non ground fighter??

Right on the money. You can watch MMA bouts and see just how hard it is to counter someone in full mount raining blows down on you. This is why Guard retention and learning escapes are so important. You really need to do everything in your power to prevent the full mount (or side mount) from happening.

Most people shouldn't be comfortable in guard either.

Agreed. However, if you're stuck on your back with someone on top of you, the Guard is where you want to be.

Of course if you're as skilled as Kron Gracie, you can purposely put people in closed guard and destroy them.

Must be nice....
