    i've been working many different open guard sweeps lately and just in general working on my open guard. thought it would be fun to start a thread of videos of yours (or my) favorite open guard sweeps. or just any open guard sweeps you want to share or try.

    i use this very simple sweep all the time--check at 5:00. the key for me is making sure i get under the opponent. if i don't get under and/or i'm too far away, it's easy for them to smash the legs down and pass.

    the only rule is open guard sweeps. we can do a series in closed guard sweeps some other time.

    Im a big fan of single leg x, whilst the above video isnt world class (id post MG for that) the entries and retention skills shown, are really usefull, as well as the distance management vs reaping discussion bit.

    another pretty simple lasso guard sweep. i play lasso guard a lot because i like having the control of the gi under my leg.

    i've tried a version of the omoplata finish but instead of this video with a granby roll to enter it, but not enough to really get it yet. i have had a lot of success with the sweeps from the lasso guard so far.

    And this too, although the knee bar may not be legal for you. Ive never got enough space to get the final position, but id rather sweep and the pass or sub from there.

    All the content in tristars channel is great. Very good universal Jiujitsu.

    wow, the first leg lock he shows at 1:05 looks borderline illegal for ibjjf, but honestly, almost ninja-like in it's brutality.

    There's no reaping so its fine from brown onwards.
    (From memory, I cant watch it right now, on mobile)

    Unless theres a slide to an inverted HH ive forgotten.

    we'd be remiss if we didn't show sweeps against resisting opponents. lots of open guard sweeps to choose from here.

    here's a move of the week from kurt osiander...an open guard sweep into mount.

    [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij5ghlwKfns"]Kurt Osiander's Move of the Week - Open Guard Sweep - YouTube[/ame]

    my go-to sweep from the de la riva is similar to this sweep. i don't like to sit back in the de la riva, but sit up, grab the opposite sleeve from under the leg, and use that to sweep.

    I'm a huge fan of butterfly guard and x guard for sweeps.

    i've personally never been a fan of butterfly guard. just can't seem to make it work for me. love the x guard though.

    any helpful videos for butterfly entries that you know of korpy?

    because it always looks better when you're going up against resisting foes.

    Butterfly is the hub of all the open guards, it also links wrestling to BJJ, its well worth the time investment!

    6 out of 10 times (everytime), the problem is initial structure, hips behind head, choose flat or bladed, remember to move and away you go!

    over the next weeks, prepare to be regaled with the stories of giovanni's guard being passed because i'm screwing up the butterfly.

    Re butterfly and open guards -

    This positioning drill at the start is excellent.
    I usually start with the top guy raising his hips a little to make it super easy at the start, and then run a light isolation drill where the goal for the bottom guy is free the bottom leg and change guard, and the top guy has to control the bottom leg, and pass.

    I know some people will give you crap for not going for a takedown, but sometimes I'll grab a double necktie, and sit down right into butterfly either get a sweep, a leg lock, or go to x guard for a sweep.
