The Flower Sweep Basic To Advanced is a 2-part deep dive on the Flower Sweep from Black Belt Ante Dzolic. The series covers the essential concepts that transform the Flower Sweep from a standalone technique into a complete system of attack! Ante teaches covers everything from positional maintenance, grip modifications, sweeps, and transitions into submissions.

Create a harsh environment from your closed guard like never before! Waiting around in closed guard is a surefire way to get your guard passed. Go from reactive to proactive with Ante’s easy to implement strikeplan to obtaining grips and immediately getting to work. The closed guard is a very common position in Jiu-Jitsu that you will find yourself in time and time again. Ante’s gameplan is one that ANY athlete can make use of, regardless of experience level!

One major factor that makes the Flower Sweep so dominant is the ability to off balance your opponent without opening your guard! This makes your guard much harder to pass, while affording you the power of your legs to assist with controlling your opponent. Once your opponent is off balance you can open up for fluid Flower Sweeps!

Mastering the Flower Sweep involves forcing your opponent into the dilemma of accepting the sweep or getting caught in submissions! Although the Flower Sweep is a very effective technique it can be defended. Thankfully, your opponent’s defense only opens up further opportunities for you to attack! Submissions like the omoplata, armbar, and triangle are perfect complements to your opponent’s defense to the Flower Sweep. Check out all of the options below!
