Oh really?

How about:

SECTION 23 GUARDINGfficeffice" />>>
ART. 1 . . . Guarding is the act of legally placing the body in the path of an offensive opponent.

LGP is only relevant if there is contact. If the guard is not in their path at the time of contact, that means the guard is moving into the opponent and does not have LGP.
