Sweeps

Off-balance from guard and come up on top.

Spider Guard Sweep
myBJJ App · Instagram Reel

From spider guard: both sleeves controlled, feet on the hips and biceps making the springs — pull them off-balance, sweep them over your supporting leg, and follow it all the way up into mount. Instruction by Paxton BJJ, via the myBJJ App account.

Top 10 BJJ Sweeps Every Beginner Should Know
Tony Casarez · Instagram Reel

Tony Casarez — a third-degree black belt under Lucas Lepri and professor at Alliance Cary — packs ten beginner sweeps into one reel: the starter shelf of the entire position in a single sitting. Where the Spider Guard Sweep at #1 on this card goes deep on one entry, this goes wide: the ten a new player should own first, taught by one of Lepri's own black belts.

7 Sweeps from Closed Guard
Davin Soh · Instagram Reel

Davin Soh's second entry on the site — Sabah's first black belt, whose Cross Step Armbar sits at Armbar #11 — teaches from the other end of the exchange: seven sweeps from closed guard in one reel. Where Casarez's Top 10 (Sweeps #2) surveys the whole sweep map, this one drills a single position seven ways: the closed guard as a toolbox, not a waiting room.

4 Octopus Guard Attacks — Beginner to Advanced
Lucas Norat · Instagram Reel

Lucas Norat, head instructor at Gracie Barra East Mesa, opens the octopus guard's toolbox: four attacks that scale from basic fundamentals to advanced variations, so the guard grows with the player. The octopus guard earns its place on this shelf because its attacks are sweeps and back takes in spirit — arms wrapped, posture captured, and the top player going over.

How Are They Supposed to Get Good?
Jeremiah Macy · Instagram Reel

Filed descriptively: Macy's caption names no sweep — it asks a coaching question instead. How are your partners supposed to get good if you are not giving them 100%? The reel sits on this shelf on your filing, under his line as its title, and the sweep itself stays unnamed here until someone names it. The question, though, applies to every entry on the site: drilling partners are a gift you give at full effort.

Sweep — Marrom Jaguar
Marrom Jaguar · Instagram Reel

Marrom Jaguar's third entry of the evening — his turtle and his armbar were logged earlier tonight — and the caption is the same invitation to comment and share, naming no technique. What the record gives is the man, a Brazilian black belt and IBJJF South American champion, and your filing: his sweep, logged under his name, taking a technique title if one ever surfaces.

Easy and Cool Sweep from Half Guard
Kevin Johnson · Instagram Reel

"Easy and cool sweep from half guard." Kevin Johnson (black belt, owner of Ivy Jiu-Jitsu) keeps the promise in the caption: a low-drama reversal out of the half guard — filed on the Sweeps shelf, where the finish outranks the launch position.
