Opponent Stood Up In Your Guard? Go For The Body Clinch Takedown

Let’s remind ourselves of the most important thing you need to do when you have someone in your closed guard: attack at all times.

Many jiujiteiros make a mistake of holding a closed guard for a longer period of time without doing anything. And, while simply holding your opponent in it and waiting for the right moment is sometimes a good thing to do, it is never a good approach to use the closed guard as a position of rest for yourself.

If your opponent establishes good grips while inside your Closed Guard… You can be pretty certain that they’ll stand up and go for a guard break that way.
You need to intercept them. And one of the best ways to do this is by standing up yourself and going for a Body Clinch takedown.

Valerio Mori Ubaldini demonstrates how to do this on the video below:

  • Learn about when the optimal time to pull guard is so that you’re actually getting   into guard and not just falling on your back.
  • Enter attacks immediately off of pulling guard so that your opponent doesn’t have a chance to settle into the position.
