Learning to attack from the closed guard is a foundational skill that is a great introduction for understanding how to develop offense from your guard. Closed guard is a very static position so it’s easier to specific train and develop in when you start Jiu Jitsu, yet it can be very difficult when you first start to actually get your first arm bar or triangle in sparring. I find one of the main reasons for this is people focus on the attack they want to do, rather than focusing on which attack is available to them based off of the grips and positioning their opponent is in.
In this video I show how I got about picking which attack to build on from closed guard based off of what grips my opponent used to maintain his posture. I hope you liked the video and please like and share this video with a friend if you found it useful, it helps a lot for me growing the channel. Thanks!!
