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.

Garcia Almeida (a.k.a Junior) demonstrates a flower sweep from closed guard. Check out https://www.Jitseasy.com for more “catalogued” videos. Also, stay tuned for a follow-up video later today from Professor Kristina Barlaan where she teaches a “recounter” to the Flower Sweep.

A recounter is a counter to a counter. This is a useful term to know when searching for videos on Jitseasy. If you ever have difficulty with a technique or your opponents seem to thwart or counter your move, try looking up your move as a recounter and see what comes up.

I remember learning this when I was a white belt, but over the years, I’ve picked up all kinds of small details that make it work oh so much better.

The sequence flows like this:

Hip Bump – Kimura – Guillotine

And when done right, it still works at high levels.

I’ve added some adjustments here and there, but all credit for helping me see this possibility goes to Gustavo Batista in his matches against Renato Cardoso and Lucas Lepri.

Since I saw those matches, I’ve been obsessed, and I’ve been hitting every one with this sweep.

It’s so good that I don’t even grip the cross collar anymore unless I’m working on something other than the scissor sweep.

Once you get the overhook in closed guard, the first battle you have to fight is for angle, and that can be lost at times. If that happens, though, it’s not the end of the world. In fact, it might lead to some offensive possibilities like this bad boy right here. Give it a try.
