Damn professor. My wife and I are both 3 stripe white belts. My wife likes playing guard but as of this writing she has zero sweeps in her arsenal. I know she will want to have these sweeps to beef up her guard game immensely. This video will really want her to practice technique with me in our garage. We have mats.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I’m so happy to hear that. That is one of the main reasons I make videos is that right there! Thank you!

[@ManishKarkera]

what a good time to upload this video... today a newbie(first class) pinned me(1 stripe white) with my neck down in my closed guard and was stuck for a good 40-50 seconds. Usually other guys in my gym posture up when they are in top closed guard. I was confused when this newbie did the opposite. I wrote this scenario down to get back to my Trainer to ask him ways to deal with it and your video got to me before I got to my trainer. Thanks a ton !!! Just subscribed :)

[@neilbrown2451]

I love that last one. Been done to me so many times by higher belts. Very effective. They usually bring the arm across their body with the same side hand and then scoop the leg with the other hand. Bingo!

[@Musikberoende]

These were the first ones I learned, but after a while only rolling with people like 40 lbs heavier than me I rarely even go for sweeps... needed a reminder! The scissor sweep can be so effective!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Absolutely. These are all scalable and applicable for bigger people. Just takes tons of reps

[@Bflo23]

[@psyience3213]

Im a blue belt, those are pretty much the only sweeps i use from closed guard. That knee shield to scissor sweep is what started my guard game as a white belt. Knee shield is great.

[@bingusbongus3404]

When I started off as a white belt, the third scissor sweep is what I used almost everytime. Eventually, though, the other white belts caught on and started making better bases and I couldn’t do it anymore haha

[@Spanky00Cheeks]

If they really base out to prevent the scissor sweep to one side, maybe you can switch to a butterfly sweep on the other side. Hook the wide based leg, hip escape to the same side, and catch them by surprise? Just spitballing :)

[@yosithelegend]

are u me

[@lymecycljne405]

I love the over-under sweep. The second sweep you performed. It's simple and so effective. Yes, it's good to mix up and go for more sweeps but I've always loved this one because of how simple it is to pull off.

Attention newer people: notice uke’s right hand around the 1:33-1:38 mark. It is important to cup the shoulder to protect the wrist. Performing the sweep? Be a good partner and check. This should be part of any instructional, since Jiu-Jitsu takes two.
