4 Full Guard Sweeps Every BJJ White Belt Should Learn As Early As Possible

In today’s Bjj technique video I show you 4 fundamental full guard sweeps that every White Belt should learn as early as possible. I call them fundamental sweeps because they’re essential techniques that have useful movements which can be used in a myriad of positions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. And I say that every BJJ White Belt should learn them early because they can be used to setup combos and other attacks that will serve them well until they're a Black Belt.
For instance the scissor sweep is a good basic sweep that is great for learning to open your guard and progress to open guards later on in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The bump sweep is great as a sweep but also is incredibly effective off-balancing technique that can lead to lots of other options in Brazilian Jiujitsu. And each closed guard sweep in this video has the same qualities to it.
Hope the video is useful to you and your training.
Thanks for watching.

I had to watch it twice. The first time, I lost about 5 times the staring contest against Adam only to realize I didn't pay enough attention to Professor Chewjitsu, then I watched it again.

[@GregPickering]

Same. Lots of rewinding for me because I kept missing stuff.

Good video. Adam is lowkey Penn and Teller funny- see him shoot for a motorboat choke at 5:40 😂

[@Chewjitsu]

The funny part is I miss these jokes while I'm teaching. I only realize them when I go back and see the video. Haha.

[@wafflescripter9051]

I've used the second sweep against people who leaned too far back, but hadn't realized it could also be applied to people crowding forward. Very cool.

[@kkkkkkkkkkkkkoooooll]

It’s funny cause I’ve had the opposite experience, I’ve only ever used it for people crowding

Progress update?

[@JMU365]

I absolutely love the butterfly sweep with one leg out. I didn't even think of doing it with a full grapevine. So dope

[@untilvalhalla7854]

I kind of figured this out on my own. I knew it must have a name already. If I can get to half guard, then I can get to this. It works pretty well for me. At least against my peers.

[@JMU365]

@@untilvalhalla7854 Right. The move feels super natural. That is a big downside though.i get smashed in half guard on the reg when attempting to get the sweep.

[@jameswjackson]

@@pugnastyy2586 lmao I tried it too....NOT!!!!!

[@HoboSammiches]

There’s variations that can make it work

[@matthewcrawford4216]

The direction you drive them needs to be perpendicular to their leg. Otherwise they have too much base support. I forget to do it all the time and get reminded to fix my technique.

[@richarddukard8989]

@Andrew Onymous that's the thing, that don't react. They're just too big to off balance. I have no problem getting the sweep to work on people my size. I guess that's why they have weight classes right?

The Jazz hands had me dead 💀

[@ictkeith3730]

I’ve never seen the pendulum without grabbing the opponents back/lat with the hand that’s not under the leg

I would suggest either emailing him or even calling the gym. Him and his staff have always been great about replying to emails.

[@someonedoe9591]

I completely fail to see how the first three sweeps works, they have to let it happen. I guarantee that I could not get it to work. It looks like the raw power required to make it work is a lot. Maybe I'm just used to people 20kg (40lbs) heavier than me, My experience of people are they are like rocks and hard to move unless they are lighter than me, maybe I could move them but the effort required is just too much. EDIT: a video showing the move used against a resisting person would be nice to see, perhaps It'll show something I'm not understanding. My only other hypothesis is that I'm just too weak :b
