Today’s BJJ technique video on Single Leg X Guard comes in response to one of the request from one of the viewers and fits right into our ongoing series on Butterfly Guard. In the previous videos in the series I’ve been showing how to hit the basic Over Under sweep from Butterfly Guard. Well in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, I’m sure you’re aware, that techniques eventually fail. And when they fail you’re going to need another option to work from.

In the video I show how to get to Single X (which could go to regular X Guard too) from a failed sweep. This is actually one of my best entries into Single Leg X.

The idea is simple, when you get a decent sweep attempt you’ll have the person off balance. While off balance you use that opportunity to slide through to the Single X and then attack with a sweep or submission depending on your preference. In the video I show an effective sweep from the position.

The X Guard position in BJJ is well known for it’s sweeping ability and transitional quality. Meaning that it can link up to several other positions quickly.

A while ago I posted a video where I showed a Oma Plata from the X Guard. In the comments of that video I saw someone say that they were unaware of the fact that you could use X Guard for submissions.

Again, he said that he always thought of the position as a sweeping guard instead of the ability to submit.

In this video I show another submission setup off of a sweep from X Guard.

It’s a simple idea.

It’s a Kick Back sweep from X Guard that lands the person onto their side where we can slide right into a straight ankle lock.

The position we transition to is often called Ashi Garami but I’ve heard other names for it. Call it whatever you like, it’s a nice addition to the end of your sweep.

I also touch on the idea of using the straight ankle lock / ashi garami in IBJJF. It’s a legal position but you definitely have to be careful for the reasons I state in the video.

Hope the video is helpful to you!

Are you wanting to get started with X Guard in BJJ? If so, this is one of the sweeps I encourage newbies with X Guard to use.

I’m going to assume you have a basic way of getting to X Guard already. If not, you need to focus on an entry to X Guard .

If you need some examples of entries. Check out this X Guard drilling video I did: https://youtu.be/4sEveMOIpqo

Once you’re in X Guard you can use the sweep I show in the video.

The big key, as is typical with any sweep in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, is to off balance the person. Once off balanced the sweep is easier to hit.

Also, you’ll see the technical standup used as the finish to the sweep which is a basic movement taught in BJJ classes which then gets repurposed for this sweeping technique.

I hope the sweep is useful to you in getting started with X Guard.

I recently got asked several times to do something from X Guard. So in today’s video I’m going to cover a sneaky BJJ Oma Plata setup from X Guard that they wont see coming.

I’ll assume if you’re watching this that you can already get to X Guard during your BJJ training or rolling.

Once there the big thing you need to focus on is continually off balancing your training partner or opponent.

This stops them from being able to counter your position. Instead they are working on maintaining their balance. This is a pretty constant principle for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

While off balance I show the Oma Plata setup. So the idea is, while they are focused on their balance they won’t be able to see or defend the Oma Plata setup.

The Oma Plata is by itself a strong submission attempt. But in addition to this, it’s also a powerful position that transitions to lots of other options like Guard sweeps and other submissions.

So if you’re someone who uses X Guard in Brazilian Jiujitsu then I hope this setup is useful for you during rolling or competitions.

Talk to you next time!
