Open Guard: BJJ Fundamentals – Go Further, Faster
A complete system for mastering open guard—featuring entry strategies, control frameworks, sweeps, submissions, and transitions into more advanced positions.

 Course Overview

John Danaher presents a structured and progressive curriculum that turns open guard into a tool for both control and attack. Whether your opponent is posturing, passing, or scrambling, you’ll learn how to find grips, manage frames, and launch sweeps or submissions—all while maintaining structure and composure.

 What You’ll Learn

• Entry & Frame Foundations: Sleeve, collar, shin-to-shin grips; C-frames; defending passes while setting up attacks; flow drills linking entries to resets.
• Sweep Mechanics & Setups: Sit-through, shin-slice, lasso entries; direction-driven timing; hip-bump, flower, pendulum variations for live rolling.
• Submission Chains & Attacks: Triangle, armbar, kimura, omoplata from open guard; collar/sleeve control; dynamic grip-switching; sequencing sweeps and submissions.
• Transition & Flow Integration: Paths into butterfly, X-guard, closed guard; recovery after pressure or scrambles; performance-driven continuous-flow drills.
