Collar-and-sleeve guard

Christian "Xaropinho" Uflacker is back, now with a complete program on the collar-and-sleeve guard. This classic way to play on the bottom allows a very effective combination between the possibilities for maintenance and recovery, and attacks. In other words, it's one of the most effective ways to balance attack and defense when on the bottom. Practice these positions, and you will see that this guard can be used from white belt all the way to black.

LESSON PLAN


Introduction

Introduction

Uflacker explains that the collar-and-sleeve guard is his favorite because it leaves one’s opponent uncomfortable and in peril the whole time. He’ll be showing some possible finishes and sweeps.

Triangle with a kneeling opponent

Triangle with a kneeling opponent

Xaropinho’s first option, when his opponent is on his knees, is the triangle, given that the distance control and the foot on the left shoulder make an attack attractive -- as long as it’s executed with the necessary details.

Standing Sweep

Standing Sweep

Your opponent’s common defense to the attack from the previous lesson is to raise their right leg, on the side of the arm that’s controlled, which makes the triangle impossible. But there’s always a counterattack in BJJ, and here Uflacker chooses to use the hook on the outside to get support and manage to get up sweeping the leg, in a very effective sweep.
