1. Technique of the Week: Scissor Sweep & Variations

This week at West End Jiu-Jitsu Club, we are focusing on the powerful and effective Scissor Sweep and its key variations. The scissor sweep is one of the most fundamental Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques from the closed guard, helping students learn timing, balance breaking, and strong positional control. By mastering the scissor sweep, practitioners can improve their guard attacks, create better transitions to the mount position, and build confidence in live rolling. We are also covering common setups, grips, and follow-up options to make this technique work against resisting opponents. Whether you are a beginner or advanced student, drilling the scissor sweep is essential for developing a strong BJJ foundation.
