This Simple X Guard Sweep Works Like A Charm

This Simple X Guard Sweep Works Like A Charm

Having an ability to utilize a wide array of guards in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can only make you better. So, as soon as you start feeling comfortable with the “classic” guards (i.e. Closed Guard, Open Guard, Half Guard), you should go ahead and try out other variations. For example, the X Guard.
However, in order to learn how to “play” with this guard, you need to know how to enter it first!

The X Guard is a great guard to play in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but it can often be difficult to “get to it”. To establish it.

Sometimes, it’s the simplest of techniques that work best…
Such as this X Guard Sweep!
