One of the easiest ways of getting stuck in the guard is being in bad posture. Bad postures allow your opponent to easily hold their guard, submit you, sweep, you, and do all sorts of other bad things.

Good posture, however, allows you to weaken their guard, minimize threats, and achieve good striking positions.

In this video, I go over 3 basic postures: striking, grappling, and broken. I will say even at a black belt level, its very rare to find someone who has the striking posture down 100% – they always miss one detail regarding head positioning that is crucial.

That’s how long it has been since my last new instructional video post.

I’m working with a new student now, that I’m teaching from scratch as a white belt. So I think it will be informative for everyone to see just how I’m going to shape and mold this individual.

These first few videos will be basics, but as time goes on, we will get more advanced as he learns more about the fight game.

Even so, I work to break down every moving part so that even as a veteran, you might learn a thing or two. The first video is just about using the basic closed guard and the overhook.

In this video I break down one of my favorite sweeps from closed guard: The Pendulum Sweep.

I show many examples and scenarios taken from a recent rolling session I had with 2 of my students.

You will learn how to combine the Pendulum Sweep with the threat of an Armbar to maximize its effectiveness, and also how to recognize when your opponent is off-balanced.

A viewer asked about how to open the closed guard.

I go over one way to do it and discuss how to approach the idea of opening and passing as well as some fallacies people have about it.

I am working on a Guard Passing Instructional that will go much more into depth on how to open guards (specific angles and pressures) but I think this is a good option to master.

If you like my particular focus and style of teaching, you can get this kind of instruction almost daily for only $10/Month.
