Description

 New Wave Jiu Jitsu: Closed Guard – Building a Complete Closed Guard System

A methodical, all-level closed-guard curriculum that fuses posture-breaking tactics, structured control, and layered attack chains into a unified system.

 Course Overview

John Danaher offers an 8-volume deep-dive into closed guard, teaching you how to control posture, create angles, and launch a high-efficiency sequence of sweeps, submissions, and transitions. It’s designed for practitioners of all sizes and levels, with system-wide tactics that integrate position, timing, and adaptation.

 What You’ll Learn

1. Posture Control & Side Scissor Entry
   Battle posture early—using chest pressure and elbow framing
   Establish side-scissor via underhook, arm drag, & elbow post setups
   Sweep & attack from side scissor: wrist sweep, elbow sweep, armbars, triangles
2. Clamp & Double Underhook Systems
   Employ the “clamp” when elbow dominance is lost
   Transition into triangles, inverted armbars, omoplata
   Set up double underhooks to enter slides, handstand sweeps, top-lock armbars
3. High Cross & Top Lock Strategies
   Position for high cross grips to launch armbars, triangles, kimuras
   Utilize top-lock variants for seated/standing: hip sweeps, hiza guruma, sumi-gaeshi
4. Trap Triangle & Leg Attack Integration
   Trap triangle sequences with collar–wrist control into figure-four triangles
   Begin leg attacks: spinning ankle-hooks, X-guard entries, heel-hook transitions
5. Flow-Based Structure & Short Athlete Modifications
   3-stage game plan: posture break → dominant angle → leg entries if plan A fails
   Alternative strategies & timing for shorter grapplers
   Full drills connecting each position & progressive attack chain
