New to X Guard in BJJ? ( Start with this Fundamental Sweep )

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.
