To attack from the closed guard with sweeps and submissions you need to first need to off-balance your opponent with Kuzushi. This clip is from https://www.grapplearts.com/the-gripfighting-and-kuzushi-formula-with-rob-biernacki-and-stephan-kesting/ and shows you one of the best ways to disrupt his balance, his posture and his alignment in order to set up your own attack.
Without Kuzushi just deploying โa techniqueโ at your opponent from the closed guard is unlikely to work unless heโs a beginner. After all, every technique has a counter. But once his alignment is compromised then heโs much less able to prevent the sweep or submission. Kuzushi kills the counters.
Once heโs off balance with his alignment broken heโll be much easier to deal with. He wonโt be trying to pass your guard. Heโll be so off balance that all heโll be thinking about is recovering his position.
His frantic reactions to get back into position actually give YOU the opportunity to launch your real attack.
Thereโs no such thing as magic in BJJ, but properly applied Kuzushi comes pretty close.
In The Gripfighting and Kuzushi Formula youโll learn exactly how to apply kuzushi to triple the effectiveness of your guard in both gi and no gi, against both standing and kneeling opponents, and from both the closed and open guard.
