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 ‘a technique’ at your opponent from the closed guard is unlikely to work unless he’s a beginner. After all, every technique has a counter. But once his alignment is compromised then he’s much less able to prevent the sweep or submission. Kuzushi kills the counters.

Once he’s off balance with 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.

His frantic reactions to get back into position actually give YOU the opportunity to launch your real attack.

There’s no such thing as magic in BJJ, but properly applied Kuzushi comes pretty close.

In The Gripfighting and Kuzushi Formula you’ll 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.

The post How to Break Posture in Closed Guard appeared first on jitseasy.

Chaining attacks together is one of the hallmarks of a great grappler.
When we talk about closed guard, one of the most classic submission combos is the Armbar-Omoplata-Triangle Choke sequence.
It’s a well known drill that’s often utilized as a warm-up in many Jiu-Jitsu gyms across the globe.
Last weekend at the UFC, Charles Oliveira was able to execute that same submission chain against Kevin Lee, easily the best grappling sequence of the night.
I break down some of the details of those transitions in this video.
If you like beautiful Jiu Jitsu, then you will like this one!

The post Armbar-Omoplata-Triangle Choke Combo From Closed Guard appeared first on jitseasy.

Back when yours truly was a purple belt, I learned an overhook closed guard trap series from Jimmy Harbison. The attacks that flows from it were a mir lock, a kimura and a triangle, but the execution on the mir lock always eluded me.

I couldn’t hit it consistently.

But recently, I had a revelation, and the success shot through the roof.

You’ll discover it in this video.

Here is a quick flow drill that I like to teach to my students in order to develop their hip mobility, leg dexterity, and coordination between arms and legs.

You gotta be familiar with the armbar, triangle, and omoplata, so if you are a brand new white belt this is probably not the best drill for you…

But if you are familiar with those submissions, this drill can definitely help your transitions and Jiu Jitsu overall.

Hope you like it.
