The "one two" open guard, sweeps and submissions

The "One Two" Open Guard

The "One Two" is a great way to position yourself in open guard and have control of your opponent's posture.

Your left hand has a cross collar grip. Your right hand has a same side grip on his sleeve.

You are lying on your side, not on your back.

Your right foot is against his left hip, and with your left leg you can create a knee shield against the collar bone as in the video, or place your left foot on his right bicep.

This is a great position to sweep to your right, all you need to do is push his base knee back and finish in the mount.

​The "One Two" Open Guard Omoplata & Mount

The "One Two" is a great way to position yourself in open guard and have control of your opponent's posture.

In this variation you are going to place your left foot on his bicep, giving you a lot of control over his posture.

Then you are going to switch your hips to face to your left while dragging his arm and setting up your omoplata attack.

As he'll probably roll over to avoid the submission, you can secure the control by hooking your leg behind his and sitting on his arm.

This will allow you to transition into mount.

​The "One Two" Open Guard Omoplata Advanced Variation

The "One Two" is a great way to position yourself in open guard and have control of your opponent's posture.

You already know the setup from the previous videos:

In this variation, as you step with your left foot on his right bicep, you'll go further into breaking his posture so that your right foot leaves his hip and instead reaches across his back to hook his right arm from underneath.

Now your left foot doesn't need to push against his bicep anymore, and instead it can go over his head, and if possible hooking his right leg as well.

This is a very controlling position and you don't need grips to hold it in place.

From here you can finish with an omoplata on his new arm, an arm lock on his far arm, or a sweep.
