After you Break their Posture

[Magic Swag]

Blue belt here. My current options are too limited when I’m playing closed guard and get the posture broken. Need to get better at attacking from there.

What do you generally do in your own game once posture is broken?

Hip escape and create space then attack?

Where are his arms? Move one across and start any number of offenses - sweep, back take, sub attacks...

His posture is broken with what grip? Collar tie? Overhook? It all depends on what kind of upper body control you have.

Look at 5:15 in this video. Watch how Tonon transitions from head and arm control to completely isolating the arm with forearm in throat, while simultaneously progressing to butterfly guard. Beautiful progression of creating space while maintaining broken posture.



Next time you roll, try to do what Tonon did at 5:15
