Beginning Jujitsu Moves : Sweep from the Guard Position in Jujitsu

[ArmyOvOneInc]

prefer to just kamura and tap him out there and then :P

[arctrooper86]

did anyone notice a white belt was teaching the sweep, my favorite is the elevator sweep, i just give my opponent half and sweep

[stevenlikescricket]

niceee



[nsdpdf]

i think the Scissors Sweep is a much easier and more reliable sweep than this one cus ive used it like 50 or so times but i think this one would be good like clokedbigman said

[bigfannot]

i asked my training partner about this move, and he told me that this move is pretty useless, cuz it only works if your opponent has his knees together, and if he just spreed his legs it's not happening, and nobody holds his knees together

[MD7z]

@bigfannot This just looks like a poor excuse for a fan sweep. I agree that this form will not work for shit.

[wesleyk200024157]

@bigfannot This is only partial true. It is slight more difficult to do with your opponents knees apart, however the point of lifting your back of the mat is to raise the center of gravity of your position making almost impossible for this to not work. Also, if you notice his knees are not together.

[bigfannot]

i asked my training partner about this move, and he told me that this move is pretty useless, cuz it only works if your opponent has his knees together, and nobody hold his kness together..

[bigfannot]

i asked my training partner about this move, he told me that is pretty useless, opponent must have legs together to this move work, and nobody hold his knees together...

[rahanvey1995]

isn't that a kimura sweep?

[juliodj1408]

chanta no tiene niuna balides

es mejor mesclar jiu jitsu con shoryn ryu aplicas tecnicas de karate do mas la tecnica del jiu jitsu o la fuerza del oponente

[juliodj1408]

que chanta

[AtTheDriveBy]

i'll try this out in my next rolling session. I just struggle in getting from the guard to a more advantaged position. If they were to say have more weight forward would this still be effective or should i seek another sweep?

[ItsKittyFukkas]

I would LOVE to learn jujitsu, thank you for posting this. I'm working hard in school and if i do well, i may be able to take jujitsu or some kind of martial art..

:D xoxoxo

[IversonRockz]

@ItsKittyFukkas absolutely recommended.. its much fun to do! :)

[ggevor1]

The only thing I don't like abt this video is the opponent (guy in the black gi) coming forward when the bottom guy tries to sweep. What if the opponent keeps his posture when you're trying to sweep him. I wish the video was a little more realistic. Otherwise, good vid.

[areon912]

for all that you can just do a kimura and end it. loll

[blueballer981]

good sweep but if the guy on top is stronger than you ur fuckedd

[silentkiller1011]

@blueballer981 not true if your faster and have good control on the ground you could mess up his balance and sweep him ending up with the mount.

[kanguesso]

@blueballer981 I have seen many small guys pull that same sweep on much bigger and stronger opponents. The beauty of that sweep or BJJ for that matter is that it requires very little strength when you're as technically sound as possible.

[jmwwd]

Beautiful. 

[TeslaSMTM]

Its called a sit up sweep.

[emiel1995]

smart trick!

[smj1245]

theres a mma place like right down the street from my apartment the ive gone and the first thing i learned was sweeps like this there very effective to gain the mount

[GJJman40000]

What is the name of this sweep?

[Jetfan2562]

@GJJman40000 Butterfly sweep i think. I'm not a fan of it

[Mexico041]

@Jetfan2562 it's not a butterfly sweep, it's called the bump sweep. the butterfly sweep is when you have both hooks in from the front. and i'm a huge fan of the butterfly guard

[CutiePie1018195]

I know I sound really stupid right now,but what happens if the person in your guard is simply too heavy for you to lift?

[godzilla8china]

@CutiePie1018195 i know what you mean haha but if they are too heavy you probably shouldnt be matched against them.

[CutiePie1018195]

@godzilla8china That's true,but what happens if your a girl about to get raped on the street.There really is no choice.

[MrSleepoholic]

@CutiePie1018195 u r not looking at the whole picture here.this is only one technique and it will not help u in every situation.

[CutiePie1018195]

@MrSleepoholic Yeah,your right.

I tend to over analyze things alot.I guess it's a habit of mine : (

[osensei2987]

I'll be damned if I'm gonna spend $300 on a gi and then have corporate logos pasted all over the SOB! There some dumb asses out there that are walking billboards and they're not being paid a dime to advertise! LOL! But they have the bad boy logo pasted on their asses so that makes them bad ass! LOL!

[annababe08]

Hey USMCxheadshotx

This series is built off the Hip Bump (the sweep that he performs) It is possible to go for a Kimura, it's actually part of the series. You would grab the wrist, reach down and lock it in with your own wrist, than lay back to your original position, hip out and crank it until he taps.

[hooah91]

i cant see his belt but is he a white belt?? i mean they should have at minimum a blue belt teaching

[AmericanFenian]

I noticed the same thing. Most places I've seen have a minimum of a purple belt to teach white and blue belts.

[hkdharmon]

Nah, his belt is black it think. Here it looks like it is gray. . Some black belts abrade with age really badly and you see the white cloth under the black die. I guess it depends on the brand of belt.

[hindupushup68]

See that guy's ear? That's some nasty Cauliflower. You can bet this dude has some rolling experience.

[osensei2987]

In traditional martial arts there are no colored belts. The student receives a white belt when they enroll. Then after many years of training the belt becomes darkened. What we call a black belt is actually translated as dark belt (shiro obi) in Japanese. Colored belt were created to motivate children and their parents. Brown belts and black belts today are short cuts and are a "substitute" that only represents the "true" shiro obi". This is why belts are never washed because dirt = honor!

[osensei2987]

Notice how the student also has a white belt. Yet notice all the stripes that the student has on his white belt. This suggests that the student is not a white belt at all. Rather based on the number of stripes the student could very well be a blue belt or green belt. It suggests that this teacher is using the traditional method of coloring belts. Over time the white belt will darken from all the training at which time the student will have in his possession a true "Shiro Obi"!

[BlackShinobiShozoku]

@osensei2987

To my knowledge...

Shiroi obi would translate as White Belt.

Kuroi Obi would translate into Dark/Black belt

[osensei2987]

@BlackShinobiShozoku Sorry! I was having a senior moment! I need to take my ginko biloba now!

[USMCxheadshotx]

could you also go for a kimora with this technique because at about 0:34 it looks like you could make an attempt.

[MONEYMANPMP13]

@USMCxheadshotx yea you can

[craziewawa]

there is a never ending count train BUT it all falls on your opponent to actually count and recounter and so on and so forth

[Forschbewithu]

there is no missing gap. pushing down on his chest is just a way to counter the move, which leaves him open for another counter sweep or other subs.

there is always a counter to each move in jujitsu. and always a counter to that counter, and so forth.

[nevoyatom]

there is a big missing gap there Mr teacher!... please explain how to come up without your oponent simply push your chest back down?...

[cky420txskater]

if the guy were to bring his arms down to push you down it would only set him up for a couple of things, triangle, arm bar, or a basic single leg sweep

[boorens18]

LOL push you back down??? then he gets armbarred, triangle choked, kimura'd take your pick....you never push on your opponents chest area, only on the belt and lower belly to push your own self up.

[KwanKENNY19]

because he has the opponents right arm and

his own right arm is blocking the left arm from getting to the body and the left cant simply not reach

[mofoxx6]

the move goes faster than you think so really they wont push back down

[joeperry1234]

but wen he puts his legs down and hips out can the guy in the black pull away

[preit49]

im a black belt in bjj and kyukoshin karate and i can comfortably say that he is doing traditional jiu jitsu at approx a yellow belt level on this video - why the fuck he got a grey belt and ur all fuckers

[littsmed1]

Whatever happened to blackbelts being taught manners and to be humble. I guess the American schools have forgotten that

[Clinterus]

@littsmed1

Don't worry, the Canadian ones haven't!

[DarkLabProductions]

@littsmed1

Amen!

[leandrusi]

@littsmed1 why you say that? I just see a guy teaching to sweep position....

[balejo943]

If you were really a black belt you would know that after a while your black belt will fade to grey or even white. My dad has had his black belt for only about 4 years and its already getting faded. My grandpa who has had his for quite a while is almost completely white already.

[skyluke4444]

is he wearing a gray belt.

[timmafee0]

he might be a jap jiu jitsu student?

[skyluke4444]

o ok thanks

[yeee941]

Its like dancing people,Use your Hips and is all good

[AirMJ91]

this is a begginer move. i never trained jiu jitsu until last night and was able to pull this move off a few times. its all in the hips.

[KOKID83]

you would have to be preety strong to do this.

[20003641]

or spell PRETTY well hahaha jkjk

[Bondenaron]

Well, no. It's just a question of timing and feeling for where his balance is at.

You can't do this when ever you feel like, you need a good setup first.

Checkout my answer to

JujiGatame123 just below.

[paprtigr3]

That's not true at all. I'm a scrawny guy and I've done this with guys 70-plus lbs heavier. Just use leverage, focus on your hips and go for it!

[n0e1]

Not at all. By elevating your hips and blocking his arm and leg, you are taking away his base and he will fall right over.

[mddog]

Sweep from the Guard Position.

Well in kosen Judo we have special contra sweep. grab the opponent left leg and block it, then turn around45 degree angle and to finish him with Ude Garami or legs choke + arm bar wakigatame.

[forcethrown]

what is not stated is the amount of practice that goes into being able to apply this(these) moves.

[Hokartum]

Agree! it's very hard to get kimura work from here,especially in Gi. You need to take guy off balance, so he put hands on the ground, and then make it as quick as thunderbolt. But always think of the sweep.

[JujiGatame123]

Why wouldn't the bottom person just apply the Kimura if they can get their hand in such a theoretically perfect position.

[popinfresh69]

cuz they wont tell you this but the kimura never works when the other guy is actually fighting

[JujiGatame123]

explain please. What causes it to not work.

[dflynchimp]

I've managed to pull a kimura lock in a sparring match before, but it's more trouble than its worth because it's too easy for the other person to see it coming and pull their arm out before you can properly lock it up. It's not that it doesn't work, but you have to time it correctly and move fast because the lock's setup really telescopes itself, and anyone who's learned the lock will know what you're trying to do.

[DarkHadouXS]

Yeah I agree with that, effective if you can hit the technique, but very difficult to get someone with unless your being sneaky with it and bating them into thinking your trying to fake a Kimura but really aren't and even then it can still be hard.

[biffsaysfukyou810]

It's called telegraphing, not telescoping. Think about the metaphore.

Idiot.

[dflynchimp]

Did you honestly post just to pick at my language slipup? I noticed the error too as soon as I posted but couldn't be bothered to post again to correct it.

Why don't you try something more contructive or gtfo.

[Bondenaron]

If the guy is leaning forward, or at least sitting properly in a guard it won't work.

This technique requires that he is stupid enough to sort of lean backwards as he sits on the guard, or that you make him straighten his back and lean backwards.

(When I mean lean backwards it's just a question of inches, barley visible. Though you feel it in his balance.)

**To posture up usually is the counter act if you pull him towards you, and when he leans back you'll strike him with this sweep.**

[n0e1]

Leaning back and keeping your back straight is the proper posture if you are trying to pass guard. If you lean forward, it is almost impossible to accomplish anything.

[littsmed1]

I have been studying and teaching various martial arts for the past 27 years, and what many fail to understand is that you have to create your own situations or openings to make things work. You have to adapt to your situation, just like in life.

What you are seeing is the basics, and sure your opponent will be fighting back, but that is where practice and a good instructor comes in, and let us not forget experience.

[DJFEUDINGSTATE511]

This only works on a white belt who doesn't know anything.

[iplayelectricguitar]

My favorite sweep from a failed Kimura attempt.

[bananabread119]

BAD!!!!!! TECH!!!! he can easly pass from when you put your leg down.

[nabu2k7]

does this shit works if the guy is like 100 pounds heavier than you?

[Gixion]

It can if u do it correctly.

The point of BJJ/GJJ is to give the smaller guy a chance to beat the bigger guy

[lucastudela]

haha... much more than giving chances

[deathstr]

seems far more simple than a sweep from a butterfly guard position.

[GeneralSkaar]

butterfly guard is harder at first and really isnt a "basic" position. since it takes more then just locking your legs around the opponent

[senseilouie6]

he should not be do EXPERT ANYTHING teaching BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU!!!!!

[purger00]

expert villiage? didn't know white belts were experts

[genjibob]

you can also execute a kimora shoulder lock from this position, the only change is you would not roll to your left shoulder

[sonofsarek01]

pretty good, as simple as warping your arm around for the sleeper

[deathoverme]

how do u get the opponent into this position where u can wrap your legs around him? what if when u get on the ground he tries to kick ur balls?

[ohitsubob]

if it goes to the ground (which in BJJ, it will) and you find your back on the ground, wrap your legs around him (pull guard) as simple as it gets

[mndeg]

newbie!

[jogra028]

just sitting down in a streetfight or in vale tudo might not be the smartest thing, but oftentimes people try to take you down and if they do you often end up in the guard(legs around waist). there are also a few other positions you very often end up in,most of wich got techniques that will put your oponent in your guard. There is also the method of grabing your oponent and while trying to offbalance him you throw your legs arund the waist...

[nickandtia]

these video's are here to help, it's not supposed to make it a contest of who knows more than the next guy. Make your own video if you are so elite.  otherwise keep training and shut up.

[barrabrown]

About half right. You will not want to open your guard until you have the arm trapped otherwise you are asking to have your guard passed. You will also need to extend your post arm or you will be defended against when you push off your foot.

[dirtyfighter34]

why do BJJ players have so many patches on their uniforms? hmmmm

[clokedbigman]

they are made into the gi and also some people are sponsored(some)

[bcobane]

it's also pretty traditional to have your school/instructor logo. Brazilians are pretty flashy people.

[karatekid159]

this might work actually if ur trying to grab the guys neck or around his bak then he'll sit up trying to get put of it and then ull be able to perform the move

[clokedbigman]

or you try to kimora(fails) then you sweep him( it works i did it to my instructor)

[caussabon]

that makes sense, thanks!

[geraldfoushee]

a better way is to grab his neck and pull him down, trap the arm and leg and roll towards the trapped leg and arm

much easier

[seifer666]

thats not much easier, if the guy is sitting back. if hes lying on you, yes, you roll him, if hes sitting up, then you do this situp sweep. you base your moves on your attacker, you cant just pick a move and do it cause its 'better'

[Robopencil]

The reason he didn't do a scissor sweep is because he's teaching the bump sweep..........

[geraldfoushee]

what person is going to sit up like that when YOU know BJJ...and if HE knows BJJ he ain't gonna lean back for you to sweep like that.. But good vid anyway perhaps it might work once in a blue moon with the right person

[guerillaprankz]

Thats why it says in the title Beginning Jiu Jitsu Moves. Its for beginers!!!

[geraldfoushee]

well if that what works then stick to it

[xxxxCROxxxx]

this dont work

[gmc310]

nice vid, thanks

[homegrownhero]

basically the same as a kimura sweep? (except here no Kimura-style grip...)

[jeniwrenn]

my hubby is a black belt in bjj and i am just beginning. this is a very comprehensive video. it will help my game heaps (if i can remember it all!)

[fuckmedrs]

only available in wonderland...

[Cr3w96]

so you have a shit trainer cool

[thinkibrokesomethng]

LOL

[SierraTKD]

Nice, this could be very useful for tournaments,especially the Eclectic Tournament on April 5th,2008. It's 2 weeks away from now and I'm thinking of good strategies now so I can practice them and get good at them,remember them well. Then once the tournament comes,I can execute them easy. I think it'll work out juust fine. =]

[pankration34]

hey just a question but was that tournament down in L.A.?

[SierraTKD]

No, it was last Saturday in Bridgewater,Massachusetts. I won 3 1st place trophies!!

[Lolercopterzahflyin]

did you use this move?

[SierraTKD]

Me? No, I didn't get a chance to because the rules of the tournament I went to for my age division was if I could get someones shoulders (both shoulders) on the ground, it's a point. So,the best thing to do for that is to counter your opponents weight cause that's what I did and I got 1st place!

[entity3sf]

Congratulations!

[cjsims06]

very nice

[Saulzaun]

o cara é faixa azul?

[HeatSkeet]

I was told to never put your elbow on the mat. If you do and your opponent puts his hand on your wrist, he'll have almost total control on you. He could also have an opening for a big punch. Shouldn't you just go up to your hand and skip putting your weight on your elbow?

[tomyz123]

anyone in akron ohio area teach jiu jitsu private lessons

[rjv14]

I allready learned at the jiu-jitsu lessons from my gym

[35719045]

Comcordo com o sandro SImples e muito eficiente!!!

[irelandsjohn]

i find this sweep only effective against guy's my own size.. anyone bigger i'll just use scissors sweep

[shredieshred]

i too think scissor sweeps work better on bigger guys.

[sandrodecarvalho]

simples e eficiente, muito bom

[gatorwildcat]

couldnt he just move around to gain rear control and go for a rear naked ?

[thermalx]

good question. but no your leg will be blocking him from taking your back. youll notice he didnt take his right leg from the guys waist when he hip bumped him.

[gatorwildcat]

yeah i see it now thanks
