The Ladder Sweep from Closed Guard is a high-percentage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu technique that teaches off-balancing, timing, and clean transitions to top position.

In this lesson from 316 BJJ, we break down the ladder sweep step by step, focusing on:
✔️ Proper grip placement
✔️ Kuzushi (off-balancing)
✔️ Hip movement and angle creation
✔️ Maintaining control after the sweep

This technique is ideal for:
🥋 Adult BJJ students
🥋 White & blue belts
🥋 Closed guard fundamentals
🥋 Competition and live rolling success

The ladder sweep is a reliable option when your opponent is standing or postured in your closed guard, and it pairs well with other fundamental sweeps and submissions.

Train with purpose. Build real Jiu-Jitsu.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
