BJJ White Belts: you'll get better at Jiu Jitsu faster if you start with these 3 sweeps

Sweeping is arguably the most important offensive tool in your Jiu Jitsu arsenal. Everyone wants to see the big submission or throw, but it's the threat of sweeping or standing up that usually leaves the opponent open for the submission to happen in the first place.
The problem is, sweeping is also one of the hardest skills to develop in BJJ. The understanding of base and balance, combined with the sensitivity required to feel the timing make it so difficult to learn as a new grappler.
These 3 sweeps will unlock a lot of the knowledge and skill you're gonna need to move forward and start developing a dangerous guard game, so if you're a white belt in jiu jitsu START HERE!

just came here to say the editing and angles of this video in comparison to your others is 10x better. very well done. especially the re-wind to show a technical detail from a different angle. Excellent. give your editing team a raise

[@yosigam]

Once again, the best sweeps video i've seen is in this channel

[@brandongamble8311]

Been using the butterfly sweep to great effect. It has changed my jujitsu life!

[@hegemanc]

This content is really really outstanding. very impressed Brandon.

[@wed_ward]

Excellent details - that last one and sticking the head to the chest and then the floor was great.

Thank you! Congrats on 100k subs.🎉

Best BJJ instructional channel on KZbin

[@dsmart003]

Awesome stuff. I’ve never seen the dogfight sweep with the lockdown or the detail of keeping your hands together, I used to get head and arm choked all the time from that sweep, so that detail is huge for me

I hate the hip bump sweep. You gave some details that are making me want to go try it... thanks!

[@postnutregret]

Popping up to your palm vs sweeping from the elbow was a huge detail for me that made them work so much better I noticed he didn’t mention it but my coach stresses it

[@TheC130navigator]

That’s some technical shit for a white belt just learning. I was thinking of maybe a scissor sweep

[@Holygroundmma]

Thx Sensei 🔥🔥

[@nenaddabic7994]

I would love to see video about defending sweeps

[@No_ElMinja]

Coach B! in the 3rd sweep would you consider going to reverse lockdown to C-cup to get the undertook back? Pros? Cons? Love the channel! Agree with everyone on the stellar production value and content!

[@guillotineenjoyer2496]

Definitely gonna try the hip bump one against my 240 pound power lifter friend who has a habit of bench pressing against me when I pull my head down

Hell yeah, another auto-save vid to add to the BJJ beginner collection. Sturdy sweeps, well presented. Particularly like that third sweep from half-guard.

I don’t practice jiu jitsu but ive been thinking about joining 10p here in El Paso and i just found out you’re gonna be here soon

[@brandonmcninja]

Drop in over there for sure! I had a seminar scheduled there but I just had to switch it up last night, so doesn’t look like I’ll be there in October unfortunately.

[@haha-px5xp]

Very helpful!

[@BJJourney]

Became my fave BJJ channel nowadays. Could you please explain if on Gi, the best defense against guillotine and chokes while dogfight sweep or backtake is exclusively dependant on that "coyote" position of the feet or maybe i could keep the same foot pinched while i rotate around for the back trying to hide the head on the chest. Congrats for the amazing content.

Knowledge Transfer: Initiated

[@mjolnir9855]

I love the half guard a lot, so this plays right into my game. I find myself getting half more often than fighting for the full guard when I'm escaping cross side. Full guard is best for attacking, but I'm a big guy, so It's difficult for me to regain guard sometimes when I'm rolling. Big thighs my getting that knee deep enough across their body difficult.

[@TheAngerman77]

My legs make that difficult also

[@BJJourney]

Its really insane how the half guard can adapt to the game of the big, the medium and the small. I take advantage of my small size and speed to dive under my bigger oponents and i would go for the dogfight underhook leading back take or a sweep. If ive got whizerd id go for deep half back take or again sweep. That game can be really annoying but sometimes ive got ribs injuries against the heaviers more than most.

[@user-dt9jh9of7y]

Hello, I am a Chinese BJJ enthusiast. I think your explanation is very clear. Out of personal interest, could I transfer your video to the Bilibili website in China？It will not be used for commercial.

[@samkochel6990]

I really wish people more often would use bigger people to show moves on, it sells it more. I even just watched another video with the same thing.

[@brandonmcninja]

I understand that. That’s my wife though and she’s my main training partner. Plus she’s better than pretty much all the big guys.

[@timmyotoole6063]

3:14 good back take opp for person on top. nice little counter, js

[@jayqueuestuff]

Thank you so much for another great video! One point of feedback- can you work with larger-than-you size partners? That would really help us see and learn the important mechanical aspects because right now its hard to observe which (finer) details of your position affect the opponent’s, whose light frame seems way too easily movable.. with a heavy opponent it’s much easier to see how the technique directly moves the opponents body

[@kerpal321]

i would include the hip/upa mount escape reversel too

[@brandonmcninja]

For sure, but this is specifically about sweeps from guard, so it wouldn’t fall into this category. But yeah, that’s the first movement to learn when you begin training.

[@user-gi7xb5zt1c]

отлично.

[@grfr]

In the lockdown-warmups with one underhook we use the pimp arm to stop the opponents leg, but when we have DUH we want to catch the leg for electric chairs and sweeps. Why do we want to stop the leg using the pimp arm when we have only one underhook?

[@brandonmcninja]

To help win the inside space and move to butterfly guard

[@fitnesslibrarian9013]

I play knee shield a lot and have a hard time transitioning from my frames to the under hook to try to dog fight, I always fear the darce as soon as I get the under hook. Any tips ?

[@antoniobridgeforth2362]

When you come to Maryland I am going to need a private from you Sir.

[@brandonmcninja]

I should be in Maryland in the spring!

[@philm695]

Why the butterfly sweep over the shoulder crunch sweep from butterfly?

[@brandonmcninja]

Shoulder crunch is great, but it’s a derivative of the butterfly. Learning how to use the butterfly will inform the shoulder crunch 🙏🥰

[@thomasdavis8600]

There is a better way to do that bump sweep. Cowboy up to your palm(get of elbow). The leg on the side you are sweeping to should go to the floor to trap the leg. Works well even if they are already postured well.

[@quigley7378]

You should do it against him? Maybe make a video? 🤔

[@brandonmcninja]

Video you doing it and tag me.

[@matsuwd-emethdaath4002]

I got an idea what ya mean...however a vid does say alot versus trying to explain n word it

[@matsuwd-emethdaath4002]

I like to sit on the leg to the direction I wanna sweep once they lead with momentum when they attempt to muscle back to posture for the sweep 😁

Why do women wear leggings and men wear shorts ?

[@brandonmcninja]

The ladies often don’t like for their shorts to ride up and expose more of their legs/butt during training. A lot of guys like spats, too, though. Just more comfortable to be honest.
