Ever went through a number of sweeping techniques and thought to yourself: „Jeez, how am I supposed to remember all of this when I roll?“ Well, you don’t have to learn all of them, nor is it possible to do so. A big part of the catch is, actually, to understand what all sweeps have in common; and then use that knowledge for sweeping your opponents left and right.
One of the best ways to sweep your opponent is from open guard.
Open Guard has many different variations. But some tips are invaluable regardless of it.
- Use all your limbs – If you’d like to play open guard that’s great but try to use your limbs to your advantage.
- You also don’t want to let your opponent control both your ankles. Ever.
- It will take you a bit to find your footing and points of control. Keep in mind you need to find a good way to break someone’s posture not to just have contact. Find a sweep that works for you.
- At least 3 points of contact are advisable.
