Closed Guard — Tip Sweep Hub

Tip Sweep Attacks

What To Think About This Week

The Lesson

This week focus on the chain — not the individual techniques. The tip sweep, the elbow trap, and the armbars are not three separate things. They are one continuous conversation with your partner.

The sweep creates the reaction. The reaction creates the submission. The submission threat creates the sweep. Once you feel this loop you will understand why the tip sweep hub is worth hunting every time you are in closed guard.

How We Roll

Flow training by default unless the instructor specifies otherwise.

Upper vs Lower

Lower ranking student picks their top position. Blue through black vs white, or blue vs black — the lower rank decides where to start.

Purple / Brown / Black

Neutral start or request a specific position you want to work on.

Takedown Rounds
