Defending Strikes form the Guard (BJJ Schwerte: RMJJ Affiliate)

Something I preach all the time is that if you can’t defend strikes from the Guard, then you don’t have a guard.
Period.

It doesn’t matter all the cool moves you know if you can’t defend and stay safe from the single most common attack there is: punches.

Here, Mirco Wendt, Head Coach at Brazilian jiu-jitsu Schwerte shows how to defend strikes from the Closed Guard and then transition to the Vale Tudo Guard.

He follows up with a Tripod Sweep for when the opponent tries to stand up and escape.
