Overview

Eli Night demonstrates four foundational closed guard sweeps tailored to different opponent pressures. He covers the hook under sweep against heavy forward pressure, the hip bump sweep when opponents sit up, the scissor sweep for neutral postures, and the pendulum sweep for failed attacks or pass attempts. The lesson emphasizes reading opponent energy, maintaining proper grips, and using leverage over strength to reverse position effectively.
