There are some techniques that you learn very early on, maybe even at your first BJJ class or two; but which you don’t use for too long, as it seems – after a certain level – that these techniques don’t work against more skilled opponents. And, while it may be true that you’ll have to disperse your game into more techniques as you climb the ladder, the basic ones still work; you just have to add an additional detail or two to them.
This is true for perhaps the first Open Guard sweep you’ve learned: the Tripod Sweep. Let’s take a look at Gordon Ryan’s great details, that will make this technique work against everyone.

You will also want to take advantage of the new instructional series by the legendary Bernardo Faria, Foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Bernardo is a five time world champion and one of the most sought after instructors in the world. As one of the sports most accomplished competitors, he has done something that many athletes are unable to do. He has been able to translate his BJJ knowledge in a way that is applicable to EVERYONE. You do not need to be a gifted athlete to benefit from Bernardo’s knowledge. Do not miss this one. You will not be disappointed.
