  • i dont know if it works for me but this looks like a great way to establish the x guard!

    really cool1

  • good

    

  • When you get double underooks in half guard and i go real low whats should i do to stop getting d'arced. I find this happens me alot and i jus dont no how to stop it.

  • @Curta1993 First off- you don't have to post messages numerous times... I'll get to them.

    However, in answer to your question- see the video id below:

    v=qkvMpE4pcag

    and look at 3:10 into the video.

    thanks.

  • Is the electric chair a submission from X-Guard?

  • No, it's done from the Half guard.

  • No, the electric chair is usually done from Eddie Bravo's lockdown half guard, not from Marcelo's x-guard.

  • its hard 4 me 2 get the x-guard from 1/2 guard or butterfly cuz guys on top hit me wit darces & brabo chokes

    any advice?

    those sweeps look good once ur in there tho

    thx 4 da post

  • Check out our Half Guard Sweep Chain video (see below video ID), it has a sweep option for when your opponent goes for the darce. Thanks for watching!

    look at 3:07 into that one, I think it has an answer for you.

  • DEFINITELY answered the question... thx a lot

  • keep you elbow in tighter to your side if they start fishing for the choke abandon going for x and extend your hips out, or you can trap the arm they are looking to choke you with and roll under them for a half guard sweep.@sbmfighter

  • Could this work in mma? I'm guessing is more for grappling competitions.

  • This would absolutely work in MMA. You just have to sweep him quickly from the X-Guard (which is not too hard to do).

  • Oh ok I thought it was more like an actual guard that u can use like the traditional or rubber guard but its more a sweeping guard. Thanks.

  • How old is this guy? He seems young but his instruction is pretty clear and he seems to have a decent understanding of jiu jitsu.

  • I'm 25 years old and have been training since 1998. Thanks for your kind words, and please check out the site.

  • Glad you enjoy this setup. I love the X Guard because of its efficiency. If you can get to that position, it's very easy to sweep the opponent. Check out our X-Guard video set at our site.

  • aren't you open to a brabo choke at 0:24 ?

  • Yes- but assuming that you are familiar with the Brabo setup, then you can allow him to take the bait and use a counter sweep. Though that is a counter- it's definitely an option that you should be aware of.

  • Wouldn't going for the Electric Chair submission be easier, or is this a reaction to the Electric Chair counter of walking your hands backwards?

  • The Electric Chair sweep/submission is another option- this is primarily an option that can be utilized after that sweep has failed. If you watch our video that is the Half Guard Sweep Chain- you will see how you can use the sweeps in conjunction with each other. Also- be sure to check out the site!

  • I already have, thank you.

  • Awesome sweeps, and i noticed this can be used in junction with Eddie Bravo's Electric Chair sweep/submission, thanks for the X-Guard post.

  • EXACTLY! Glad you got the point of the video. Check out the site for more videos, or check out our video called "Half Guard Sweep Chain" (video id= "qkvMpE4pcag") in order to see how the sweep work together.

  • is x guard good for mma i know its good for sport

  • X Guard can DEFINITELY be used for MMA. Check out our X Guard package at our site!

  • Glad you're enjoying the videos. I hope that you're already a member of the site, and if not- that you'll join. It's 100% free to join and use, and there's a LOT of free videos there. Enjoy!

  • do you guys have anything on the de la riva?

  • At this time, we don't have anything on the De La Riva guard, but our MMA Discussion board has an entire section for nothing but video requests. If there's something you'd like to see- please feel free to ask!

  • you can also set up for heel hook instead of going for x-guard this way.

  • Kneebar, heel hook, etc... You are correct. We even cover that setup in our mini-series of The X-Guard that is available now in our store.

  • nice thats awesome i haven't seen too many people use the x-guard and the the 10th planet system in conjunction. keep up the good open minded approach to submissions.

  • 10th planet JJ rules!!!

  • While I also enjoy the 10th Planet system, and think that Eddie is a genius with jiu-jitsu- I'm not sure why you posted this on a video about The X-Guard. The X-Guard was developed by Marcelo Garcia of Team Fabio Gurgel, and the 10th Planet guys haven't really used it widely like they have the Rubber Guard. That being said, please check out the site. We have a lot of material from all different jiu-jitsu systems!
