Hudson Valley Martial Arts Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Flower Sweep

This is an excellent sweep set up from the closed guard. The opponent is forced over to bottom mount based on leverage and momentum, this is an extremely effective sweep against even larger opponents.

Spider Guard Triangle Choke – Hudson Valley BJJ

Posted on March 4, 2013 by Brian McLaughlin in BJJ - GI, Blog, Chokes, Guard

Here’s a great way to hit a triangle from the open guard. The key is keeping tension on your opponent’s sleeve and getting them to commit their weight too far forward causing them to fall into your triangle.
