Closed Guard, Scissor Attacks (diary entry)

02.02.2024 Hour three of my UKSO Cotswolds teacher client’s second course on Submission Grappling continued our work from the scissor sweep attack. After a warm-up of ground specific callisthenics,  dynamic stretching and hip bump and scissor sweep drilling, we went through the following 2-minute live exercises:

1. Legs only posture breaking from guard

2. Closed guard only attacks (hip bump, kimura, scissor sweeps etc.)

I then had my client sit my guard and attempt to pass it whilst I exclusively used scissor sweep set-ups. Within this five minute round, I demonstrated the scissor sweep, arm-bar, omaplata, standard arm-bar, reverse arm-bar and triangle choke. We then went through using the the scissor sweep to apply the arm-bar and reverse arm-bar submissions. The lesson finished with a three-minute round of specific sparring where my client attacked, starting in a scissor sweep set-up each time.
