Teens drilling a Mount escape to Deep Half to X Guard.

The X Guard position in BJJ is well known for it’s sweeping ability and transitional quality. Meaning that it can link up to several other positions quickly.

A while ago I posted a video where I showed a Oma Plata from the X Guard. In the comments of that video I saw someone say that they were unaware of the fact that you could use X Guard for submissions.

Again, he said that he always thought of the position as a sweeping guard instead of the ability to submit.

In this video I show another submission setup off of a sweep from X Guard.

It’s a simple idea.

It’s a Kick Back sweep from X Guard that lands the person onto their side where we can slide right into a straight ankle lock.

The position we transition to is often called Ashi Garami but I’ve heard other names for it. Call it whatever you like, it’s a nice addition to the end of your sweep.

I also touch on the idea of using the straight ankle lock / ashi garami in IBJJF. It’s a legal position but you definitely have to be careful for the reasons I state in the video.

Hope the video is helpful to you!

Are you wanting to get started with X Guard in BJJ? If so, this is one of the sweeps I encourage newbies with X Guard to use.

I’m going to assume you have a basic way of getting to X Guard already. If not, you need to focus on an entry to X Guard .

If you need some examples of entries. Check out this X Guard drilling video I did: https://youtu.be/4sEveMOIpqo

Once you’re in X Guard you can use the sweep I show in the video.

The big key, as is typical with any sweep in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, is to off balance the person. Once off balanced the sweep is easier to hit.

Also, you’ll see the technical standup used as the finish to the sweep which is a basic movement taught in BJJ classes which then gets repurposed for this sweeping technique.

I hope the sweep is useful to you in getting started with X Guard.

If you know me or have watched me roll. Then you know I LOVE Butterfly Guard. It’s one of my best positions.

Now I love Butterfly Guard for a lot of reasons.

I love that it’s great even if you can’t use a Full Guard super well. It’s great for sweeping. And it’s also a great place to transition to other forms of Guard in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

In this video I show how to use Butterfly Guard to transition into an X Guard or Single X Guard / Ashi Garami position.

In the video I touch on the basic idea that when we want to lift someone from a bottom position in Brazilian Jiujitsu. We need to get under their hips.

When you watch the technique shown in the video pay close attention to how I move under Chad.

Once in X Guard or Single X you can attack leg locks, sweeps or other submissions.

Give it a try!

This is a breakdown on how I go about dealing with the shin on shin position before continuing on to guard Passing. A lot of people make the mistake of trying to force the knee cut pass when it’s not available and get put in X-Guard, single leg X, or even heel hooked. It’s important to drive your knee to the opposite side and focus on getting rid of the shin first. Let me know if you have any questions dealing with this position.

This video I have visiting guest from Atos Andy Murasaki go through the Underhook De La Riva position in depth. It is a position a lot of top level fighters use to stop the knee cut pass and also set up Berimbolos, X Guard, and Deep Half. Please comment if you have questions, if you like the content follow on IG for smaller details and more frequent technique updates.

I recently got asked several times to do something from X Guard. So in today’s video I’m going to cover a sneaky BJJ Oma Plata setup from X Guard that they wont see coming.

I’ll assume if you’re watching this that you can already get to X Guard during your BJJ training or rolling.

Once there the big thing you need to focus on is continually off balancing your training partner or opponent.

This stops them from being able to counter your position. Instead they are working on maintaining their balance. This is a pretty constant principle for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

While off balance I show the Oma Plata setup. So the idea is, while they are focused on their balance they won’t be able to see or defend the Oma Plata setup.

The Oma Plata is by itself a strong submission attempt. But in addition to this, it’s also a powerful position that transitions to lots of other options like Guard sweeps and other submissions.

So if you’re someone who uses X Guard in Brazilian Jiujitsu then I hope this setup is useful for you during rolling or competitions.

Talk to you next time!

This is an effective way to sweep your opponent when they counter your scissor sweep by stepping over your leg. By using the foot on the bicep we create the leverage to scoop our hips under our opponents to set the x guard position and then apply the technical stand-up sweep.
