One of the most common ways your opponent will counter your sweeps from the X Guard is by posting their arms. This can make it difficult to complete an attack.
However, due to the positioning of the X Guard, it is relatively easy to tie up your opponent’s arms prior to a sweep. If they can’t post their arms, your sweeps will be much more effective.
In this video, you’ll learn some simple X Guard sweeps using the sleeve grips.
Heres exactly whats covered:
X Guard Controls (0:00 – 3:51)
Far Sleeve Sweep (3:51 – 5:48)
Near Sleeve Back Attack (5:48 onwards)
