Sinjin's got the bulk of what I was going to say.
You need to learn about pressure points, if you don't know about any now, go and learn. Pressure points are a great method to utilize when in a close guard. The human body has plenty and if you can pull it off and push on his points, he'll be forced to let go immediately...unless he can withstand the pain, which, if you do long enough will most likely be impossible.
When i've done a close guard, someone's always pressed on my joints or pressure points, and its extremely excruciating, so I try not to do it. I only do it in the late rounds when we both need to rest...its more or less an "accepted, silent agreement".
