The x Guard is a great tool to have in your game. As a tall lanky grapple it allows me to stretch my opponents out and gives me a plethora of options. Anything from attacking the legs to the simple sweep we covered today.

The flower sweep or pendulum sweep which ever you’d like to call it is a very powerful sweep from the closed guard but at the high levels grapplers will have amazing balance. Even at a blue belt level grapplers will be more aware and ready to post.

This is when you hit them with the one two combo for you sweep or leg attacks.

A rant about how standing up from guard is just as valid a technique as sweeps and submissions. And when it comes to self defense the technical standup is absolutely critical! Check out https://www.grapplearts.com/selfdefenseguard for more examples of how the standup gets integrated into your guard game, and/or check out the related videos below:

I love the flower sweep. Cool thing about this sweep is I learned it the week of that tournament I just showed you. Not only did I hit it once I hit it 4 times that day!

I was thinking wow this thing really does work haha their are different grips you can use for this sweep as you’ll notice in the first part of the video. You can use and over hook grip like I did in the tournament or you can simply control the wrist. You are just trying to stop them from posting out and blocking the sweep.

I use this still anytime I feel someone starting to stand and it will keep them to where they have to pass low and play my game.

A Closed Guard Pass with Brandon Mullins

The log splitter is a nasty guard break. Mostly for the fact that you are pretty much shoving your knee up the persons butt haha it is extremely effective and is one of my favorites I use this a lot in no gi and it is very effective against taller grapplers because their will be more room to get the knee through.

Frustrating your opponent can be a great way to get in their head sure they can break your posture but if they can’t do anything with it they are just as frustrated as you are. Most of the time this will lead them to just open up and go for anything and that’s the opportunity you cash out on.

It can be difficult to get your preferred grips from the guard, especially if your opponent is being super defensive and running away every time you get closer. In this video you’ll learn 3 different methods to get your hands on your opponent that will work in both gi and no gi, and with every kind of guard!

The forearm in the throat choke can be very frightening if you don’t know how to deal with it. But if you know the correct defense then it’s actually very easy to counter it! This video is taken from https://www.grapplearts.com/selfdefenseguard
