Closed Guard - Breaking Posture

Having trouble dealing with a strong, upright opponent in your closed guard? Feel like you can’t set up any attacks because they’re sitting tall and shutting everything down? This video covers effective ways to break your opponent’s posture (and keep their posture broken!) — so you can start up your offense and win the match!

The closed guard is a powerful position in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but it only works if you can keep your opponent broken down and off balance. If they’re postured up, it’s tough to sweep, submit, or even control them. That’s why learning how to break posture is essential to making your closed guard dangerous.
