White Belt Flowchart #1: The Closed Guard

Techniques in this flowchart

Notes

  • Step 1 - break their posture - pull knees to chest to bring them down onto you - control the head/collar and one wrist so they can't sit back up - never let them settle upright with grips on your hips
  • They straighten an arm to push you flat / defend the choke - an arm across your centerline is an armbar - pin the wrist, hips high, pivot off angle, knees pinched
  • They yank the arm free to escape the armbar - one arm in, one arm out = triangle - keep the wrist, shoot the legs high, lock the ankle, cut the angle
  • They posture up / lean back to stack or open the guard - sit up with them, don't stay flat - overhook the same-side arm above the elbow - post your other hand behind you, bump hips up and over
  • They post an arm on the mat to stop the sweep - a posted arm is a kimura - figure-four the wrist, fall back, keep their elbow tight
  • They hide the arm and drive their head into your chest - wrap the neck as they drive in - guillotine - hip bump, kimura and guillotine cycle off each other, keep attacking
  • They kneel upright / stiff-arm your chest to open the guard - get a collar grip + same-side sleeve grip - shin across their chest, other foot hooks the knee - pull, chop and follow up to mount
