Beginner BJJ Fundamentals - Opening The Guard From Knees Concepts - Jason Scully

Well, I've been getting great feedback and questions in regards to the "Short but Sweet" reference videos that I've been uploading and one of the more common beginner questions is why I turn my body the way that I do when I am opening my partners guard on my knees in my 57 Guard Passing Techniques in Techniques in Just 8 Minutes Video.

So I made a short video explaining why I do what I do when I open the guard from the knees and little details I try to pay attention to when I do it.

There are SO many different ways to open the guard and many people will have their own variations.  Try this way out, ask questions, and let me know how it works out.

The key thing that I make sure I do when I attempt to open the guard from my knees is I DO NOT put my knee under their but from the beginning.  This is extremely common for people to do and a  very common way for them to learn it. I do not do it this way. My order is a bit different.

Fundamentals are key when it comes to building a strong game, so always focus on keeping your basics clean and efficient.

Thank you for watching

Thanks for the vid!  I'm a blue belt, so this tip helps me out a lot, as i often have trouble opening stuborn peoples guards lol.  I would love a vid about some techniques to open the guard while standing as well.

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."
