Sweeping in Jiu-Jitsu is fun. The looks on people’s faces when they’re powerless to stay up as they realize they’re tumbling to the ground are always priceless. However, sweeps are not an easy thing to get, particularly against skilled and seasoned opponents. In that sense, the majority of sweeps in Brazilian JIu-JItsu come from open guards, given all the variety that is available from there. So, open guard sweeps are the things to focus on, but which ones? There’s no simple answer that will provide two or three sweeps that will universally work against everyone. There is, however an answer to that question.
Open guard sweeps come in as many different variations as there are guards. That doesn’t really help the case for figuring out how to sweep everyone you roll or fight with. Sweeps do have common underlying principles that make them work, but that is a subject for another day. In terms of practicality, you need to focus on sweeping people that are constantly changing levels. It is easy to sweep someone who is not defending the sweep, but it is highly unlikely to expect such a scenario every time you try a sweep.
Why Do We Sweep?
The main question here is why do we need to sweep in the first place? In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the guard is a signature position that everyone falls in love with at a certain point in time. However, there are only two things, offensively speaking, that you can do from the guard. You can submit an opponent, which would be the most desirable outcome. It also happens to be the headrest thing to accomplish in Jiu-Jitsu. Apart from submitting someone, all that you’re left with is sweeping. But what does a sweep get you, exactly?
