Flower Sweep (Tips to Counter the Guard Break and Improve Timing)

www.Chewjitsu.net
This Flower Sweep is a great sweep. I personally never had much success with it until recently. The biggest problem for me was timing. I just didn't have the "feel" for the right time to use it.
Recently I was using the flower sweep with a ton of success against every belt level. It was like a light bulb went off for me. I discovered a few tricks for making it work more often.
Here is one of the timing tips to using the flower sweep. When someone is doing a low guard break you can use the momentary change in their base to make the sweep work.
Check it out, and if it helps you I'd love to know!

Was just taught this today by a purple belt...he didn't tell me what it was called and was making notes trying to remember what he told me...then this video popped up and I got my questions answered! KZbin algorithm for the win!

[@anon2034]

Great strategy: going for an armbar/triangle and when failing use the stalling for a Flower Sweep set up. Thanks Chewy!

I had a blue belt hit me with this last Saturday at our open mat and I had him ahow it to me. It totally blew my mind how sneaky it was, I love it and can't wait to try it out for myself.

[@FoldintoYourself]

Fuk, I love Jiu Jitsu. Just so much fun. I wish that I had a roommate to roll with. Sucks always having to wait to go to the gym to try new moves. Most of which I forget by the time I get there.

[@chosen1163]

Yea bro you live in Cali I can train with you

[@robinlandesberger9828]

Yeah, i have the same problem

[@Motorcyclegymnast]

Thank you for sharing different angles

[@judobjjcody]

Awesome move!

[@michaelspoto8720]

my coach and i drilled this today for this first time. I def need to drill it many more times because Im not smooth with it yet but i was kinda getting the hang of it. ive only been doing BJJ for a few months and all these techniques look easy when a black belt does it but then I go to try and it's hard as fuck lol.

[@joegonzalez5014]

It’s been 2 years brother how had it been??

[@michaelspoto8720]

@@joegonzalez5014 still training bro. I'm a blue belt now. Still get my ass kicked all the time 😂 but I love bjj just as much as I did 2 years ago when I made this comment. Thanks for asking, my friend.

[@joegonzalez5014]

@@michaelspoto8720 aye good to hear Bro 🙏 you’re more than welcome keep at it! & keep rolling till the belt turns black

[@DaveLowenstein]

why do you sound 10 years younger in a video from 2 years ago? Is it the lack of beard?

[@bigmember5908]

a beard changes you......

[@leegunter2944]

Two years in jits is like 10 in real life lol

[@Carlitosmalo]

This my third week of jiu-jitsu and I'm loving it bro! Getting my ass kicked but im still loving it, and I was able to sub a smaller blue with an Americana. Although I paid for it later but still fucking awesome!!!!

[@Armazillo]

Chewy you've gotten a lot bigger dude

[@vperna6035]

Chewy looks like pc principal

[@dmitrybabin6933]

thank you for details

[@Chewjitsu]

You're welcome! I hope they help.

[@djthedadiofficial]

Most schools I've been to call this the "V-sweep" and use the flower sweep anonymously with the pendulum sweep? Either way, good details, thanks!!

[@Chewjitsu]

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad the details were helpful. Yeah some of the names I use for techniques might be different than the usual. I don't use the term V Sweep and consider this the flower and the version where you underhook and swing your legs out the pendulum. Just the way I learned them. :)

[@cesarsgarbage]

Great! thanks for sharing!

[@prof.burton8412]

Love it.

Very nice , not too much talk Thanks

[@FelixFrost]

Cant we grab the inner part of the leg instead of the trousers?

[@theBraxil]

A good looking lad like you Felix? Sure ; )

[@MrSupertwo]

Explain to me why the guy inside the guard is sitting on his toes? It's not hard to sweep a guy like that.

[@k.j.241]

That's what you're supposed to do. It makes it easier for him to move up and down.

[@FR-ty5vn]

Great 👍🏼 guidance

[@livecleo]

So I grab the pants really tight right?

[@jaagupcool6]

Holy hell, you're so young in this video.

[@Loneshdo]

Would bridging your hips towards the side youre sweeping them to help?

[@Jacky-Boy]

My coach told me to break their posture slightly with your knees before actually hitting the sweep

[@Alucard940000]

would this work if you grab the wrist instead?

[@user-kt6fp8me6h]

Why not just do the pendulum sweep when they bring the knee in?

[@Art.reflexao]

Top, uso bastante essa... Oss...

[@cloystreng]

Can anyone point out the brand of the black gi?

[@mappyLS]

Why aren't you pendulum-ing? Doesn't it give you more momentum to complete the sweep?

[@pedrokobuti]

Pendulum sweep and flower sweep are two different techniques.

[@overkill_716]

You don't need to because they off balance themselves when they bring their knee to the middle. I'm sure you know this by now, didn't realize this was asked 4 years ago lmao

[@stevenbyrd3179]

I thought this move was called the pendulum sweep it really looks like a pendulum

[@DavidSoteloJJ]

Its the same thing

[@MrSupertwo]

Shit Instructional. Why is this guy on his fucken toes?

[@bdogpimpsause]

You’re a noob lol
