CLASS: Closed Guard Break and Pass in Gi and NoGi by Standing Up (28-Aug-24)
Class Instructions
•
14m
When your opponent has closed guard, it's safest to attempt breaking the closed guard by standing up and wedging your knees against his bum. This video shows you how to have good control of his ability to break your posture and grab both legs while also avoiding the Muscle Sweep where he can use one underhook on your leg to bump you backwards. This technique can be adapted for both gi and nogi.
