Kurt Osiander Move of the Week - Closed Guard Sweep

[@Kenlac92]

"The whole time the guy is in your guard, he should be harassed" Honestly, one of the most helpful tips I've ever gotten regarding the use of the guard. Definitely a key aspect. Far too often have I stalled while in guard, thinking I had control, therefore allowing the opponent to reclaim the control.

[@MannyS09]

Absolutely, my thoughts exactly.

[@nasgaf]

dude this sweep is super effective. i love it. gotten it on hella people. its super sneaky

[@vitaly6312]

Kurt is literally the most helpful with these. 3-5 minutes of pure help.

[@joransioli]

That's my sweep Kurt..... Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I am glad to see that you are using the sweep.

[@imitchellgill]

Great technique, good instruction and a ton of personality. I love this guy! Thanks for the posts. It's really helping me improve.

[@brottarnacke]

Came for the music, stayed for the general awesomeness. As always...

[@KenpoMoogy]

What's great about Osiander is he that he not only teaches with detail, he also shows the 'what ifs' as you try to get the technique - Good Stuff

[@2dominate]

both the sweep and armbar worked great in a no-gi class for me. Thanks Kurt

[@josh_d_w____]

I watched this, went to class the next day and totally pulled this off on my sparring partner. Thanks for a rad move of the week.

[@trbocpe88]

Been using this all week after seeing this. Great video, it worked immediately for me.

[@josh_d_w____]

GREAT VIDEO , GREAT HAIR , GREAT TECHNIQUE, YOU ROCK ~ ! GIVE US MORE !

[@jobfernandez78]

Watched this video a couple times...tried it the same day! I pulled it off twice!!! Thanks Kurt!

[@dalion82]

1:03 "The referee is not gonna see that" lol. I love watchin his vids, always funny and they always work.

[@mishtersterk]

No nonsense, essentials, details, humor, whatelse do u want? I wanna train with this guy.

[@GJJFan]

Thanks for the demo as always, Kurt. And congrats on placing GOld at the 2011 Pan-AMs! :-) I miss the old days training with you all. Keep up the great work!

[@kanenas9607]

My mind gets blown away all the time since i started bjj and it just got exploded again

[@jdub7771]

kanenas same here!

[@quasar4601]

WOW this sweep looks great. I guess in no-gi I would grab the ankle

[@franzong]

beautiful sweep! i'm gonna give this a go!

[@snamone]

Great video, excellent straight forward technique. Thanks for posting.

[@L0nn13_c0]

Sorry but I clicked on this thinking it was a Clay Guida BJJ vid lol. But I'm a new fan now, great vid, thx.

[@aaronrivers64]

Awesome videos, Kurt!

[@jamiegee123]

keep making these !people do watch them !!!

[@mitchnews40]

I love the simplicity! thanks brotha!

[@mosa2000ful]

Again awesome song!

[@CM-rm3xj]

This is beautiful

[@jaybea9438]

Great attitude man and great moves

[@RyanManggala]

nice video... kurt osiander is the best..

[@azamalonaizy1094]

Looks both easy with a high percentage success. Thanks.

[@drewdrewski6278]

"the referee's not goin to see that" (sly smile)..

[@obi-wan-gernobi]

i know what I'm trying tomorrow...thanks Kurt!

[@scnarb]

Awesome sweep, I use a variation of that in no gi (which is pretty much all I do as an mma fighter).

[@Dpat23100]

My favorite sweep

[@LJSJIUJITSU]

You know I'm really beginning to like Osiander. He has a no nonsense approach to jiujitsu that I really like.

[@FiyaFlux]

Tried this out tonight. Ripped a guy's pants.

[@billwinter]

Awesome Kurt thanks

[@casasconcasas]

great sweep thanks kurt

[@boardtender]

Ya you can essentially do the same thing no-gi....switch the right hand grip to the ankle and the left hand grip to the wrist or tricep. With this variation you have to make the whole thing a lot faster or he will know you are up to something and break one or both of those grips.

[@gazicj]

thanks super helpful

[@poogester]

Congrats on the Gold Kurt

[@ram1328]

Love this Guy!!!

[@antjmi]

Yet another Osiander video straight too favourites :O)

[@evitigre1714]

He must be one of the coolest jiu jitsu guys out there!!!

[@541099]

the only thing better than your videos is your taste in music

[@tomcaseybjj]

Cant wait to try this looks awesome

[@pekitas]

GOD DAMN you are GOOD Kurt.

[@carlreynolds1111]

[@dasin401]

[@CrispimSoares]

[@RichCoppensRCKenpo]

Great info Kurt thanks!!

[@TheChocolateChamp]

Fantastic

[@BlueKimura]

Great Stuff Sir...

[@1sunstyle]

I use it all the time.

[@alexalvarez4524]

thanks for all the tip brother.

[@colintame7056]

very good

[@resadhaciyev5771]

many thanx

[@danfaggella]

Wow. The right comment wins. Garry is Winning right now, thanks for this.

[@theorderinchaos]

Awesome. Thanks.

[@juleslachney5137]

Old school baby

[@agharta42]

dude this is awesome! thanks man!

[@bigdocwat]

Mind blown!

[@TheScamr]

@avanthalfgarde It is legal, but you CANNOT grab the pant leg with your fingers inside the pant leg. You can use a pistol grip or a pocket grip or you could grab the ankle outright. This is more to protect yourself from breaking your own fingers than anything you are going to do to your opponent.

[@YTU37]

looks like variation of flower sweep

[@lumhasani]

Good stuff, keep'm comming!!

[@pirateslife4me100]

awsome!!

[@2Point]

Great video Thx again

[@migraine516]

If you insert your fingers into the inside of a sleeve, or pant leg, I believe it's illegal. You can bunch up the material around a sleeve, or curl the sleeve outward around your fingers...... but you can't insert your fingers inside the open part or a sleeve/pant cuff.

[@gazicj]

good to know

[@andresme2]

Sick!!

[@greghighley6894]

Slick!

[@bretlynn]

@GrapplersPlanet they are wearing those wrist bands that are suddenly popular among the jiu-jitsu crowd for some reason

[@tomknox8227]

Nice!

[@psychorick1000]

@si murphy - bc thats how someone who was taught by brazilians do.

[@SaxonBeats]

sick.

[@whateveritwasitis]

wow. that is easy. i might even be able to do this.

[@MartyMoose1611]

Cool, man.

[@RhinoXpress]

i wish some people would quit asking about will this work with no gi questions. i mean if you want no gi sweeps go look them up on youtube.

[@jongeon77kim]

Practical!

[@bretlynn]

I swear to god, if I get one of my fingers broken because someone can't lose the friggin rubber band around their wrist to train, there will be blood. great sweep tho

[@GrapplersPlanet]

@bretlynn not sure i really understand your comment bro...

[@BoleQnam]

R U Kidding!? We kąnow ur vids allover the world! i allwazs go back for more details or at least for ur attitude :D

[@dise138]

do you put the left foot on the floor or the opponents hip?

[@ludditerebel]

Why would he show an illegal grab? Could someone explain? Thanks.

[@Ghost.uppercut]

@julianfolkBJJ Wow, No one has heard that one before.

[@Randimal762]

Anyone use this sweep effectively in no-gi by grabbing wrist/ankles?

[@brandontrevino4140]

its best to grab the ankles

[@gazicj]

@@brandontrevino4140 ty super helpful

[@benny187]

Look at the upload date :O? lol

[@Tito74]

@bretlynn What brand wrist bands?

[@julianfolkBJJ]

Clay Guida's long lost brother?

[@migraine516]

2:08 random guy running like he's about to take off.

[@SuperSportsBro]

Tried to do this during roll yesterday.. It didn't work for me. I basically just groped around near the other guy's crotch for a while and then pushed him like 20 cm...

[@thepwrliftingrunner]

Did you try to shoot for the arm bar after?

[@Ghost.uppercut]

IS there a good no gi version of this?

[@Lionjitsu1]

Dose the ref.shoot you if he sees the illegal grip ? Really This is sweet, first saw this in 97 from Ralph's bro Renzo my first bjj Sensei.Ty Dan will be teaching this again at Tenbears Martial Arts Academy, in Dayton,Ohio.

[@evanlewis9402]

Is there a name for this sweep?

[@t-bone7988]

why doesn't he grab the other leg like a pendulum ?

[@josh1212121]

looks more like a modified version of the pendulum sweep

[@thatfishbreeder]

How can the grip on the pants be applied for no-gi? Is there a no-gi variation?

[@gandalf9974]

+thatfishbreeder the balls

[@jlima8534]

hook the ankle, course you might slip off, toehold is what i go for but i hear thats banned in some competitions

[@gazicj]

@@jlima8534 thx super helpful

[@1234kingconan]

lol Kurt with the illegal grips...

[@COASTRECOVERY]

Kurt what knee pads for BJJ do you recommend?

[@thelister4910]

Tampax

[@stenchman3774]

what is that track at the beginning tho?

[@zolte]

great sweep. mahalo.

[@Ghost.uppercut]

It is a decent sweep, but if that doesn't work, you are better off doing the scissor sweep

[@cindyvincenzo2852]

It’ll work....on white belts
