[@markd7762]

Very nice

[@jasongauci634]

You can also take the back right ???

[@orlandobloom9502]

Nice

[@HermosaDJ]

My instructor was sick last night so he asked every student to demonstrate a move. I showed the class this sweep. Thanks for making me look good.

[@hafblkhafamazin6179]

There are many individuals out there with more knowledge than one could imagine, they will forget more than most will ever learn, but that will not always translate to being a great coach or teacher. What makes a great teacher is their ability to take a complex topic very specific in nature, yet break it down in a way where the inner workings of it become clear to the total novice. They have a way with words to almost make them visual like painting a picture and this is what Keenan is able to do. Also very important in my opinion is the "why" behind the logic of it all. I am able to understand something much more if I am not only aware of "how" to perform the move itself but have a clear grasp of "why" I am doing it this particular way.

[@ElephantRage]

Keenan has a weird conception of the term "total beginner"... ;)

[@theohuioiesin6519]

😂😂😂

[@ourollieboy6560]

I started my first class last night from nothing thats what i learned so I guess he is right!?

[@abdulraheem415]

Bruh I was thinking the same thing! His technique is not entry level at all....but I love his vids.

[@brettg1]

In his mind, there's only black belt and total beginner. 😂

[@kannankichu1997]

What did you learn when you were a total beginner? Shrimping and they sent you home? I heard some academy teach only break fall, shrimping, front and back rolls then send them home.

[@BodyByBenSLC]

Honestly best tutorial online. So many times so many different schools teach moves or techniques and don't touch on bigger concepts of control spacing or strategy. It like learning how the knight moves on the chess board but not knowing the rules of chess.

[@nickbrown9163]

Wish i could give you another thumbs up. Spot on comment.

[@dbgrfdg]

kinda true. but most of the time you get taught hoe to get in the position where you can aply the moves you want, which you then can use for other situatiuons as well, that's what the rolling is for

[@parker2969]

For all y'all who think this isn't for total beginner. This was one of the first skills I learned. Very very useful especially for flow rolling. Just because you can't do it the first couple times doesn't mean it's not for beginners

[@jsealejandro06]

I have spent so much time looking for simple tips like this on the internet to help me improve my game. You have no idea how happy it makes me to have found your video.

[@Senorgusanos]

Man, I wish I could train under him...seems like the chillest instructor ever.

[@kimberlyjonathanjermyn4659]

3:14 " ..and you ACTUALLY manage to break his posture!" .:D That about sums up my current stripless-white belt Jiu-Jitsu game.

[@brodiesaunders796]

This was so well explained and changed the way I look at closed guard! Thank you very much!

[@fritzdagger]

This works at every belt level but is especially good for beginners to master. I teach alot more techniques like this on my instructional learning site keenanonline.com/

[@cameronpoole174]

Keenan Cornelius what do you call this?

[@YohanTheKing]

Cameron Poole pendulum/flower sweep

[@thiagonegri6608]

here in brazil we called it GALEGA ... that´s the first sweep that i learnt, and i use it a lot since white to brown belt! nice keenan!

[@Brazackp1]

Very well explained Keenan.We were trying to do this sweep a few months back and the key point we were missing was that little shrimp you mentioned. Made all the difference. Many thanks!

[@dylanherring9095]

This video is 100% helping me detail my flower sweep. Thank you

[@Murocks01]

Good. Great video. Very clear. May have picked up a technique to use while I am in the gym. Thank you!

[@efitwithnick]

Solid. As solid as it gets. Great instruction. Thanks.

[@saxophonecsb7398]

I enjoyed the video quality, the camera angles, and the the explanation for potential mistakes. Thanks Keenan!

[@counterhit121]

Great vid. Have been trying to work on my flower sweep these last few weeks and the setup details are very helpful.

[@realcolbyadams]

Awesome, I just started about 10 days ago taking Gracie Jiu Jitsu and I

[@gavmoore3763]

Yep, def a vid for beginners. Just reverse the mount from closed half guard with the double Underhooks and go for the counter triple back lateral sweep to finish with a develhova arm bar Americana. Simple

[@TheChicoRios]

A very powerful movement, because at all steps of it you can go to other attacks (in case you opponent doesn't defend properly). Thanks for sharing!

[@strazyweirdom]

This looks so cool! I'll give it a try when I spar. I'm only on my 5th day, and I'm really enjoying it!! Let's hope I can execute this move well!

[@zagevote7225]

beautiful sweep from close guard! I'm definitely gunna add this to my Jujitsu 💓

[@emilymenjivar6138]

Totally going to practice this, thank you.

[@ElephantJackson]

Good stuff Keenan! You are a great maestro indeed.

[@donovan_watson]

Wow! The detail in your description of application is incredible. Excellent instruction.

[@igorevseev8586]

I think it's a little bit too advanced for total beginners.

[@danieljulian5172]

I agree. There's like 6 main points here that he's putting into one demonstration. It's gold stuff though for sure.

[@AlanTegtmeyer]

Closed gaurd? I can't even get that. lol

[@foonigan3571]

i agree

[@SnatchesScotchCrossFitN6]

Been doing BJJ for just 4 weeks, and been drilling this last week at my gym. I like how he breakes it down, very simple. Totally easy for a beginner to do. Just have to drill it a couple of dozen times to make sure you don't miss any of the steps. One thing I really liked was playing closed guard while partner tryed to get out, and my only job was to use this sweep while he know what I was doint. Still very effective. Nce work man.

[@kopilit]

Yeah at 1.30 I was already hopelessly lost and that was only the 'how to move the hand' part.

[@AzuL4573]

Amazing video, hope to try it soon. Possibly the best teacher Ive seen.

[@SmigGames]

Noice! Keenan is a really good instructor, always explaining the rationale behind everything. I've been so disappointed with some DVDs where they just go through techniques with little context.

[@chriscrux4556]

Exactly what I was thinking as I was watching this. He explains every option you can do and the options your opponent is thinking about doing/not doing during the struggle towards your main objective. Really mindful way of teaching.

[@Luke-Zookster]

:P okie

[@spencergard1695]

Key and peele, noice!

[@bjjsaarbruecken]

Your videos are absolutely helpfull! Good teacher and good competitor!

[@benndanny12]

Brilliant thanks. We did this last week it's good to see it on film.

[@bebejoon3664]

Very nice demonstration 👌🏼👌🏼 I use this technique but with this demonstration I will perfect it even more.

[@AlecCommentstheInternet]

Basically a very nice way to set up and look at the pendulum sweep

[@kanenas9607]

I would have saved myself a hell of an ass whoopin' rolling yesterday if this video had come out a day earlier.

[@stjepanpalinic7084]

kanenas no these things are easier to watch on KZbin then to actually apply in a fight without practice for most people lol

[@swatman1337]

kanenas LOOOL

[@callummarch3970]

Stjepan Palinic agreed. I watched a ton yesterday and got my ass handed to me

[@glassgrass8637]

[@katiedunne5747]

That's pretty easy for such a cool thing.. keep doing videos I love them 😊❤

[@Dylan-wx7ru]

I love this sweep so much, thank you for the in depth vid!

[@enkhbileg]

Tried to break the grip got out muscled lol. I was told i need to put both thumbs in. Great stuff though thank you for taking your time to explain.

[@BMW3ICS]

i love how the title says for total beginners and first thing he opens up talking about attacking from closed guard. and im just sitting here like "wtf is closed guard?..." i guess i'm too noob haha

[@vittocrazi]

guard is the position where you are on your back, and have your legs around your opponent (and closed because your feet are close to each other, thus closing around your opponent. the idea is that it may look like a weak position at first glance, but it comes with lots of courses of action, with a relatively high level of defense.

[@BMW3ICS]

okdghd thanks! Now I will know what people are talking about. Hopefully I'll be taking some classes soon and learn the lingo as well as the techniques.

[@mrh3894]

You've got to be at least a genuine white belt enrolled in a jiujitsu training program. It's probably too much for completely inexperienced people. Closed guard is a day 1 concept.

[@madjaster9620]

BMW3ICS I see this comment is old. How are you doing now? Still doing JiuJitsu?

[@professornotoAmbition]

4 major positions are closed guard, back , cross side and mount. Knowing even what those are will give you a huge advantage, even if you don't know what to do from them. Maybe take a look at some basic control on KZbin. Tho we would all love to see you on the mat if you're not yet.

[@professornotoAmbition]

This is great. The 1st min on inside control was enough for me to give a huge thumbs up. That technique alone can be the lesson

[@derektruong6272]

Instead of sweeping, can I transition into a triangle instead? That what I thought you were going to do but you swept into mount instead. Thanks Keenan.

[@gooddeedsbeatbad2625]

Your stuff and coaching is par excellonce!! You have that great gift of making it look easy and achievable.

[@gtagrinder8176]

Jiu jitsu is one of the strongest martial arts but also the zestiest one aswell

[@almostbrazilian24]

This is such an amazing breakdown!

[@taylorwollmancg]

I like the breakdown. It is kind of a mashup between the classic armbar sweep and a flower sweep. Seems like it is much tighter than both tho. What would you call this?

[@scottmoerland6862]

I got nailed with this sweep heaps of times many years ago.

[@katethegreat4918]

This is so nice. I usually end up in closed guard thinking, “what do I do now?” The joys of being a clueless white belt.

[@6komodo6]

keenan always with super cool stuff...will try when on da mats...thnx

[@BodyByBoss]

Great technique and advice!

[@fingersmagillicuddy4322]

Great stuff ! Just what a novice like me was looking for, and well explained. I’m tired of being trapped in this position after 4+weeks of training…… lol. Now I’ll suck a bit less

[@irvingmarquez1106]

So awsome, thanks so much sensei for sharing, greetings from Mexico sensei

[@ourollieboy6560]

I started last night this and some grip breaking from undertook clinch so look like my class from last night!

[@alcapone6041]

keenan is a real expert

[@adamarmstrong9408]

Love it Keenan the man!

[@chwade6065]

This looks great. Well thought out. However. As a beginer this is one of the more complex sweeps i hav e seen. If i have box control early I am just going to wait and see if they try to pass guard standing and look for an ankle. I will work on this however this does not feel very beginner.

[@raiklaub975]

Can you do this nogi? Instead of his sleeve you take his wrist. But how can you pull him down in the beginning without collar? A grip to the neck? Any idea?

[@rayhack4255]

Boxing mixed with Jiujitsu,,,best combination.

[@Cesoide_]

I would double like this video if I could. It is golden.

[@madjaster9620]

Cesar Barbosa you can, just make an extra account and do it there. Thank me later :)

[@shaunZ96]

Can you make more tutorials like this?

[@BandakaKush]

This is human chess right here.

[@JakeIannarino]

Jiu Jitsu is so technical.

[@breakology]

Really good breakdown, great details!

[@itscork]

Good move!! I’m going to try it at open roll tomorrow.

[@alexandriajohnson2125]

i have no idea what is going on or how you got into that position. but i want to learn.

[@DavidLee-no9uc]

I'm going to try that when rolling tommorro Night! Thank you Sir!

[@kevinpasha1994]

He is improving

[@MrFreakinAwesome20]

To be honest the flower sweep as a beginner can be a difficult move same with the scissor sweep especially when there is a weight difference . I've been doing BJJ for over two years and I'm just now able to consistently flower sweep bigger people that know how to keep their balance and apply pressure . Everything takes time and you will be polishing moves that you learned in your first week for years . Gotta start somewhere though .

[@floyd398]

Great instructions and explanation!

[@juntjoonunya9216]

Haha, for total beginners. It's advanced for me and I've been doing this for years

[@conanthebarbarian7223]

Looks at least blue belt level to me

[@patte4702]

@@conanthebarbarian7223 if a noob white belt focuses on getting good at this, I think he or she can learn it in a couple of lessons and at least start sweeping people reliantly. That's a huge achievement for your first 3 months.

[@TheSocHero]

Found this super informative. Thanks

[@knownuthinarcher4308]

This is PERFECT! I'm trying to learn some practical self-defense for myself and this is great instruction. The way it's explained is what I like. I don't train, I don't roll. My belt is leather. I understand this and i can do this. Keenan, you f@#$ing rock! The first time I watched a BJJ event was Metamoris when you faced Vinny Magalhaes. The whole event was awesome. Ideas an instant fan. Now I'm a fan of your teaching. You don't just explain WHAT to do, you explain WHY as well. If I see the mechanics without understanding the progression of them, I can't remember them. I still remember all the basic principles after watching once. If the rest of your vids are structured like this, definitely worth $25/month. Thank you for sharing!

[@inonoma2288]

It would be a good idea to drill it with someone though, or you will have to use seconds to think you don't have when you need to defend yourself. If you drill or roll with someone, you get it into your spine reflexes instead

[@travisgillespie2485]

Love it - very slick - thanks!

[@adamstannard7934]

Kinda a pendulum sweep where you use the leg to swing you round, we learnt it slightly different but this looks a bit easier 🤔

[@orlandobloom9502]

I am a one stripe indigents you and that helped a lot! 🙂🙃

[@seanm6925]

Hey thats Woolf, one of Kurt’s students

[@madjaster9620]

I was so satisfied knowing I would learn such a cool trick... I already knew it.... :(.......

[@cashewcomedy4244]

Amazing technique!!!

[@theevanator517]

When you initially have the sleeve grip, put their arm to their opposite side. When they try to base, grab the hip, and pull them. Congrats now you have their back easier than the video.

[@1MauCha]

Great training video Keenan

[@joecox8909]

Beautiful in its simplicity!

[@gavmoore3763]

Said no white belt... Ever

[@MrFalnir]

Really wish there was a phenomenal teacher like Mr. Cornelius around Long Island, NY area. It seems everyone who is amply gifted in BJJ settles on the West Coast :(

[@michaelsean09]

Doesn't Mat Serra teach in Long Island? I imagine he would be a pretty awesome teacher.

[@pahwraith]

STFU, I would kill to be that close to Marcelo Garcia's academy, unity bjj or Renzos.

[@Wisstihrwas]

lol marcelo garcia is at new york. He's an absolute beast and a phenomenal teacher aswell

[@devinloveridge2164]

Try sucker free jiu jitsu in amityville!! Amazing place to train

[@ryanfromli]

Vamos in Calverton and Holbrook.

[@Norfolkjiujitsu]

total honesty here guys, is this a white , blue purple belt sweep?

[@kevindrake714]

Beautiful!

[@nickzardiashvili624]

Keenan is seriously overestimating me if he thinks I can pull it off.

[@Socdog3000]

Beautiful sweep

[@zareh805]

Sick sweep.

[@gabetorresx]

Hey Keenan, Any seminars coming up in New York or Jersey?

[@paulzenchuk7807]

Huge details that was awsome!!!!

[@saudabalkhail1950]

absolutely barbaric... Loved the move Mr. Cornelius. Oss!!

[@bi3mer]

That’s my brotha Woolf

[@jesselopez7143]

awesome instructions!

[@johnutah2454]

Dude no offense at all but that's why I like gracie jiu if ur in a fight and not just rolling he's gonna be swinging the whole time and while that may be effective to a someone smaller than u it will not be to someone bigger or any on who has training. But ur teaching is excellent.

[@markmartin8400]

Well u usually don't wanna be on bottom in a real fight and u should take him down then your in the better position

[@i_GARTYx]

In no gi is there a way of getting the right arm across your body as there’s no sleeve to grab??

[@clinicabaldi]

Roger Gracie won several World Titles with this attack.

[@scott9918]

We just learned this at my class couple days ago lol

[@abortionsurvivor6639]

K so what do I do first again?

[@archgod6910]

Not a beginner move but alright Keenan you my boi

[@walkerrosewood]

Excellent tips!

[@efitwithnick]

Great instruction. Subbed.

[@1970pizza]

These moves work brilliantly with someone who has long sleeves but what if he wearing a short sleeve t-shirt , what do you grab a hold of ?

[@whitegod9810]

peter lewis the arms

[@1970pizza]

I walked into that one lol

[@Callesjonas]

good. thanks.

[@livecleo]

Im not a beginner but this looks like alot for a beginner to remember
