Closed Guard = Easy Wins 

I like that Keenan shows him coaching all levels through drilling the position at the end of the video. When I'm drilling at home it makes me super aware of what technical mistakes me and my partner might be prone to making.

This is something most people don't do, showing the students trying to learn it after you teach it. That's super helpful for me as a coach because it helps me see what the common mistakes are.

"Get in my closed guard, bro!" Good vid - today's practitioners are just getting better, quicker. As such, they realize that being in closed guard on top isn't the greatest thing for them, so they deny the position more adamantly and intelligently. As such, instructional material such as this is relevant and useful. Oss.

I went online searching for this, because it’s never taught, and I spend so much time trying to get a guard pull against an opponent on his knees. Of course Keenan has it amazing

Dude you’re a really good teacher.

These instructionals that also show pointers for class are brilliant. Thanks

Show us your hip locks! Nobody does them anymore and I think there is so much unusual and awesome jits in those techs!

Awedome, thx Keenan. Would love to see a video on the mindset and some good positional concepts on dealing with a bigger and stronger wrestler type.

Thanks Keenan, I can use this!

Thanks for the Video, Keenan! Love it! I would love to see some of your favorite chokes from closed - cross-collar/ezekiel, etc.

I like the way you teach professor very technical but simple very cool ! 🤙🏽ossss

Estaba esperando nuevo video Keenan ; thanks for the video is an essential concept.

Hey Keenan can you address whens the next time you will compete?

Video quality so high I can see my future

Good shit, thank you.🙏

Amazing video

as soon as those knees come together I’d go for the double under smash pass

Can you show the best closed guard attacks and how come I always end up my legs fatigue after closed guard

Fan from tahiti

You’re a scientist

solid blue belt

Since we already know that the Berimbolo doesn't work - and we are never being swept with it because you taught us how to keep balance - please show how to effectively counter it.

Try this on Gordon next time

I would like to see all the small details of the flower sweep, and what to do if they free the hand and post.

3:11 knee slice counter

I hope this works I'm trying it tomorrow!

When you got the gubber guard, but lost (or didn't get) the overhook. Let's assume that they are still anchoring their elbow, so armdrag is not easy.

For once you agree with master rickson 😂

The ol scissor guard

Intro ends at 1:32

Passing squid guard. :) 🦑 🥋

Gostei 👍👍👍

Mermaid guard

lay a trap getting fat same thing 😂😂

Cheew!!!

I think this leaves you wide open for the rugby pass.

Danaher has a whole instructional on getting to it. I've heard closed guard is heavily avoided as being in the closed guard because it's a nightmare to get out. Is that true?

Cannot you just omoplata sweep from the first situation?

Comment on the Gordon vs Andre fiasco. WE LOVE DRAMA.

💯

That's not the point. But it would be great to get people like Dante Leon or Levi to do courses since there is little material (and poor visual quality) of them.

Do you have any takes on the Reverse Kimura from closed guard?

All my homies hate the closed guard

American closed guard entry :)

Who's bust is in the video?

Loving this material Keenan, would you recommend any specific grips to attempt this in no-gi?

Mindset and how to be aggressive

Nobody trains the opposition moves, how do you expect you lower belts to offer intelligent live resistance if they don't know what their goal is as the resistance player... granted cutting the knee to pass guard is pretty basic but if you show the timing attack (to defeat the defense, when knees are open) than you give your students the mentality that they should be punishing poor technique with failure. It's almost like you have to give them permission to offer active resistance or else everyone just kinda half-way offers some passive resistance with a little motion to make it look good, but you can feel it, and idk but I've learned to see it too... surely instructors know this too, and can also see it in their class... they just don't consciously address it. I don't understand why. Perhaps someone can enlighten me.

just put them in the camel clutch instead

Its a trap!!

He didn't iron his pants. Dislike.

Closed guard is so boring for sport bjj.

I swear...........It's like no one was listening during the explanation

Why you have a hard time showing the respect for the Brazilians for having created the jiu jitsu you love so much and changed your life? Why not call it BJJ? It ain't the japanese version that is for sure. So it is the Brazilian version. Credit where credit is due. Or am I wrong? I your defense, what you do is more like Sport BJJ anyways.

First

It is not the safest guard Keenan, Im a wb and i know that.
