One of the biggest “mistakes” that the majority of BJJ students make – and that you can exploit – is that once they get down to the mats, they stay down… Instead of wrestling up – which you can do instead.
To wrestle up from the guard, you’ll first need to get one of your legs out of the way, while simultaneously getting to a slight angle and posting on your back hand. From here, you need to elicit a response from your training partner – by pushing into him with your second hand.
Here’s a simple wrestle up Single Leg setup you can use as early as your next training session. John Danaher demonstrates:
Play from seated and supine open guards like butterfly, reverse de la riva, shin to shin, and more as Nicky shows you a complete system for using wrestle up sweeps to your advantage.
- Create strong attacks using double kouchi, arm drags, front headlocks, and more of Nicky’s signature competition offense.
- Nicky is an elite black belt competitor & B-Team founder who is one of the most technical grapplers on Earth, regardless of size.
