New to X Guard in BJJ? ( Start with this Fundamental Sweep )

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: • 7 BJJ X Guard Drills (...
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.

Adam always makes me laugh from the start 😂 gotta love his type of humor.

The cigar gave me a chuckle. Cheers gents.

I usually start in Q guard then plot a graph after subtracting for x

I tried integrating x-guard into my game, but I had to substitute u-guard for x-guard.

[@mitchellgaffney3595]

@@TomGilroy I tried that, but I had to integrate it in parts and use v-guard as well

[@speakingandlistening-video2706]

Judo coach, Danny here. I have loved your videos for the past few years now and learn a lot from you, which has helped me take my tachiwaza skills deeper into newaza territory. You and Adam put together an informative, humorous, and always educational act. Arigato and OSS!

[@joshuajitsu8395]

I’ve been entering x guard from a deep butterfly half lately, it’s really my only entry so I’d love to see some more x guard videos as I’m just now adding it to my game

[@xstylesx]

Well explained, to the point and practical as always. Good stuff.

[@olliec9096]

Can you make a video about some basic sweeps from open guard?

[@AstroSpearo]

so good as always keep up the great work

Awesome, just starting to try outx-guard. This is super helpful for me to have a default sweep to begin expanding. Thanks!

[@jimliquori1740]

Adam's awesome

[@HR-pk5dy]

Do you use butterfly just to sweep and get a better position? Or do you have a specific submission that u like to use from butterfly? I’m just starting to play around with it but I only really use it to sweep. That seems to be the focus on most butterfly videos. Any good tricky submissions from there?

[@Az0rAh4i]

Can you make a video about De la Riva? Thanks Chewy!

[@user-eu4sb8pp3f]

Just been learning X-Guard today in no Gi and struggled with it. This was really useful. Can you go into a leg lock if you sweep your partner backwards? Instead of driving through by standing?

[@janitorandalifecoach2112]

What are some counters or defensive things against the "Donkey Guard" ? I see nearly zero video's or Google search answers on this.

Hey you brought back the old dusty mats.

can you show me the cookie guard?

[@Str8ightO]

Don't you have a free entry to inside sankaku at 3:00?

[@michaelcabz]

I do not use X enough for the simple reason that it turns into a 50 50 situation if I cannot get up fast enough. I like that detail of sitting up to the side. Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong.

[@Chewjitsu]

Mine never turns into 50 50. I don't like 50 50. . . not one bit.

[@ShawnJonesHellion]

Where did jusitsu originate?

[@MoooseBlood]

Shawn Jones Japan. It was created by the samurai for unarmed combat. Kept secret among them and the upper class until the 19th century. There was a small student named Kano Jigoro who learned Jiu-Jitsu and adopted more leverage and armdrag techniques and named the system judo. One of Kanos students was named Mitsuyo Maeda who traveled the world doing exhibitions of the art. That's until he landed in Brazil where he met Gatao Gracie. Gastao was a wealthy man and politician with a trouble maker son named Carlos Gracie. In exchange for helping Maeda establish a Japanese settlement he asked him to teach his son Judo. When one of the younger Gracie boys named Helio Gracie found a lot of take downs didn't need to be a refined and instead focused on superior ground techniques BJJ was born. Really the Gracie's take credit for BJJ but it would be silly to say the entire art came from them. The origins are hundreds of years old and from all over the world. Even know Americans continue to add and deversify.
