Guide
Build a simple closed-guard system around posture breaks, scissor and hip-bump sweeps, and two high-percentage submissions so every defense creates another threat.
The core loop
Break posture, threaten the scissor sweep, and punish posts with hip bumps, armbars, or triangles.
- Break posture with legs and grips before attacking limbs
- If they post a hand, consider hip bump or kimura
- If they posture hard, re-break before forcing a submission
Weekly practice plan
- Two rounds of posture-break only
- Two rounds of sweep chains
- Two rounds of submission finishes from broken posture
