Marcelo is a very experienced competitor and this instructional has great techniques from open guard
Excellent instruction
Awesome video. Being an older grappler getting back into the game, I found this video very useful in my rolls. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sweep that is familiar but different.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Bottom Game out of the Cross Sleeve Grip
Professor Marcelo Cohen created an instructional about his strategic and technical game around the cross sleeve grip. He explains all the crucial details in a simple manner and on point. Generally he is first demonstrating the technique and then guide you through it several times by covering the key points in depth with all the and do's and dont's. Afterwards you get a couple of full speed demos. By the way the given hip bump sweep is aka the muscle sweep and the old man sweep is aka hip bump sweep. Highly recommend!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Solid
If you are open minded and looking for some different techniques and some great detail, this instructional is what you are looking for. Really gave me some fresh ideas for reactions wheee I struggled often before. And really a great bargain
I don't think you'll be disappointed!
A big part of my game has always been cross gripping, and this not only reminded me of things I used to use, but it also gave me a ton new ideas in new contexts. Specifically, as I get older, I like using closed guard more, and there are a lot of creative closed guard "entries" I have not seen before which is a total game changer for me. There is a decent amount of mechanical details, but the positional strategies are really where this instructional shines. Additionally, most of the techniques are done at a couple angles for each technique which is always helpful. I think for the price this is a must have, and I would highly recommend it! P.s. This is all done in the Gi, but I think most of it is still really usable stuff for No-Gi too. Enjoy!
