Check out https://www.amazon.com/Non-Stop-Jiu-Jitsu-Champions-Aggressive/dp/B08CPNPNDD, the book guiding you through world champion Brandon Mullin’s BJJ game!

The 3 Types of Kuzushi from the Guard

Gary Berger — Sun, 14 Mar 2021 17:54:38 +0000

Offbalancing someone in the grappling arts is known as ‘Kuzushi’. Typically people use the term Kuzushi in a Judo context, but it can also be used in a jiu-jitsu context where you use it to set up sweeps, submissions and transitions to more dominant guard positions.

You can use Kuzushi from the guard in both gi and not gi, and in every form of guard including the closed guard, recumbent open guard, seated guard, half guard, etc.

The three basic types of Kuzushi from the guard are,

1, Hanging or swinging Kuzushi
2, Blocking or pushing Kuzushi, and
3, Intercepting Kuzushi

Once he’s off-balance and his alignment broken he’ll be much easier to deal with. He won’t be trying to pass your guard. He’ll be so off balance that all he’ll be thinking about is recovering his position.

Pendulum Sweep from Full Guard (Effective At Any Level in BJJ)

Gary Berger — Fri, 06 Nov 2020 17:00:03 +0000

In today’s BJJ technique video I show an effective fundamental sweep from Full Guard can work from White Belt to Black Belt. It’s also a sweep that has a ton of carry-over value to things like armbars, oma-platas and other techniques from closed guard. Lastly, it’s also a sweep for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, that if you get good at using it, can lead to lots of other sweeps and submissions.

That sweep is non other than the Pendulum Sweep and is right in line with things like Scissor Sweeps as Fundamentals all White Belts must have some understanding of. Now in this video I show the distinction I make between the Pendulum and the Flower sweep because they get mixed up. Now I’m not saying everyone in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu goes by the same names as I share in the video, but this is what I call them.

Anyways, I share some details on how to set it up, how to execute it and how to finish it that I hope are useful to you and your Jiu-jitsu.

Thanks for watching.

The 1st Sweep I Teach Students New to Butterfly Guard (Gi or No Gi)

Gary Berger — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 20:27:01 +0000

In today’s video I teach one of the most basic Butterfly Guard sweeps in BJJ that works in gi or no gi. This is the very 1st sweep I ever learned from Butterfly Guard and is the first sweep in this position that I teach to my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu students.

The Over Under sweep is such a basic technique, but applied correctly with all the details I show in the video, it’s still a great option even at higher belt levels.

Also, if you’d like to get information when the Butterfly Guard course launches just visit the link below.

Hope the video is helpful to you with your Butterfly Guard. Be on the lookout for videos in the future.

(Breakdown) Getting Your Butterfly Hook in Vs. a Tight Pass

Gary Berger — Wed, 02 Sep 2020 08:27:13 +0000

Here’s a video of my assistant, Erkan, and I having a fun roll.

I play a lot of butterfly guard because I always trained with bigger people and it was a way to keep their weight off of me and to get on top.

So, I’m always looking to get a hook in whenever I can if I’m playing open guard.

I cover my thoughts on the problems he presented in his pass and how I approached dealing with them.

I now have a Patreon where I post videos from my Classes.

3 Ways to Recover from Smashed Half Guard when Your Opponent Has the Crossface and Underhook

Gary Berger — Wed, 20 Nov 2019 21:55:32 +0000

Getting smashed in half guard when your opponent has the cross face and underhook sucks! Here are 3 of my favorite responses to this situation, including 1) the Kamikaze Sweep, 2) the Butterfly Lift, and 3) the Twist Sweep.

Each of these techniques has an aggressive option ending in a sweep where you get to the top, and a less aggressive option where you use the threat of the sweep to re-establish a good guard position. You can also chain these threats together making it extremely difficult for your opponent to hold you down.
