Scissor Sweep for BJJ White Belts (Try These Adjustments)

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 22 июл 2017
  • The Scissor Sweep is one of the first Sweeps from Guard that most BJJ White Belts learn. And in a recent video where I covered some simple adjustments to the Keylock. Several of the White Belts that watch the channel asked for some tips on some of the really basic Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques that White Belts use.
    So I decided to cover the Scissor Sweep since this is one of the 1st sweeps most White Belts learn. In addition, the movement used for the Scissor Sweep will be used over and over again in Brazilian Jiujitsu. Whether you’re trying to sweep of if you’re trying to open guard and transition to other positions beside the full guard.
    In this video I show some simple adjustments and tweaks to the Scissor Sweep that have made this BJJ technique useable for me as a higher level belt and in addition been very helpful to many of my students.
    Simple things like turning the wrist over, grinding the hips up rather than simply coming up to the knees in mount have really helped.
    Try combining these adjustments with some of the instruction your BJJ coach teaches you at your gym.
    I hope this video helps your BJJ Scissor Sweep regardless of whether you're a White Belt or not.
    Thanks for watching!

    First week in BJJ. I think understanding the importance of always having good grips is the most important lesson I have learned so far. That, and not forgetting to breathe.

      @Steven-bp7ow 2 месяца назад

      Totally, that's what Rickson Gracie talks a lot about in his book as well. And the name of the book is even named "breathe". It's so important, I think it even helps me remain calmer during rolls when I control my breathing.

    Turning your arm to “check the time” is a great little micro adjustment for executing this sweep more effectively.

    Corny jokes are the best because you get a little chuckle with very little thought and then move on. For example: what is the difference between a hippo and a Zippo? ones really heavy and the other is a little lighter. I'm sure this just brightened up someone's day.

    Thanks Chewy, your videos help me a great deal! Hopefully, I will be able to visit Derby City and thank you, Adam, Chad et al in person.

  • @FJ0EL
    @FJ0EL 5 лет назад +2

    Chewy! I included this tips on class tonight and I was sweeping a partner 70 Pounds+ heavier than me, EFFORTLESS!! To get that good deep grip on the lapel it's crucial against tall/heavier opponents to really break their posture and leg that goes next to his leg REALLY needs to be completely flat no kidding and finally what helped my momentum was the detail of using your chest to kinda 'push' and help your opponent turn..amazing..2 week white belt here! thank you sir! Hey Chad no liabilities!

  • @marka.bowman9910

    Wow, this really opened my eyes to possibilities. I usually go from close guard to mounting, but I put a lot of strength doing this, because almost never my grips are where they're supposed to be. But this video helped me see the train of thought on how to sweep my rolling partners. Thank You!!

  • @psyience3213
    @psyience3213 6 лет назад +2

    I think the most useful piece of information in this video for me was the idea of keeping your hips low as you mount. I have to keep that in mind.

    I got this sweep on a black belt today BUT I didn't staple the lapel to the mat so I really only got the sweep half way and didn't fully come out on top but man did he congratulate me at the end of the roll.
    Keep up the stellar content dude!!!!

  • @zelipapa84
    @zelipapa84 6 лет назад +2

    Great details as usual, I also like to grab the gi on the seam around their triceps (Roger Gracie likes that grip) , it gives great control over the arm and when I sweep I punched that arm in. That's what I love about jiu jitsu, I thought I knew this sweep in and out and there you go, I've learned something from your video

    Ahhhh so THAT'S what I was missing. I could never get this sweep to work, and it must be because I wasn't pulling the person forward and off their base before I scissor...I'll definitely try this "check the time" technique. Such a great video, thanks.
