Beware Of the Guard Player’s Curse in BJJ

Today we’ve got a question from Sid who’s has the “Curse of the Guard Player” in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

He says his sweeps, submission, etc, all of his guard stuff, is coming together nicely, but he is running into one huge problem…

He can be very offensive off his back, but anytime he gets on top of someone, say he sweeps them, but he can’t hold them on the ground to save his life.

His BJJ coaches tell him he needs to develop his top game more.

He sends in the message, asking if I have any advice for him to improve his top game for Jiu-Jitsu.

Thanks for the question!

I’ll give you a comparison between wrestlers/judoka and bottom players. I’ll explain how both sides of the coin have issues developing the style of the other, and more.

I’ll also address how I’d approach fixing either situation.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful.
