How To Break Closed Guard Without Getting Swept

Gary Berger — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 16:02:57 +0000

In today’s video I answer a recent question about breaking the closed guard in BJJ (Gi or No-GI), WITHOUT getting swept in the process.

In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, the Closed Guard is one of the most dangerous positions to be stuck in. It’s also a great position for your opponent to sweep or submit you if you’re not careful.

Therefore, it’s important to try and approach it with caution and technique when breaking it.

This Guard Break is both beginner friendly and extremely effective (in my experience) and hopefully a useful idea for you to practice next time you’re in training.

I hope this helps.

The Exact Stretches I Used to Break the Guard Better

In a recent video I talked about how I used to be unable to sit back on my heels. And how this made my worst position in BJJ being inside someones Guard.

Following that video many of you had questions about how I was able to develop the ability to sit back on my heels.

In this video I talk about the issues that this muscular issue created in my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

And then I go into detail about the stretches I used to fix it.

Also with me in this video is my good friend Eugene. Who runs a Youtube Channel The Jiujitsu Therapist

You can also check out some cool down stretches for training here:

And for all of you who sent me the question about your tight knees, hips and quads in relation to sitting back on your heels. I hope this helps you out!

These really were the stretches that allowed me to have a strong Guard breaking ability and even cleared up a lot of knee stiffness I had.

Hope this video helps you sit back on you heels if you can’t and helps you break the Guard better in BJJ.
