He reminds me of Thanos.

I like how much more technical Andres' teachings have become over the years. His rivalry with Danaher is great for the whole community.

This literally works on everyone I tried it on. Even when I roll with 260lb +. I’m old so rolling slow and technical and using weight is key. Standing up takes a ton of energy and requires really fast movements. This is steady and near unstoppable as long as I frame up right in the start. Amazing tips!

Totally agree. I’m terrible with standing up. No one I’ve tried this on so far knows how to deal with it.

Where do you place your hands for no gi? Fist in the hips?

What it is a " little " difficult for beginners and even more Advanced students is to understand the huge differences between, for example, Henry Atkins opening close guard, according to him,as he learned from Rickson Gracie and the totally distinct way that Andre Galvao shows,starting with the position of the foots and the knees. In short,the most important is to keep your Posture and try several ways to open the close guard until you find the one or more moves that works better for you.

I can't wait to try this. I am older, heavy, have iffy knees and am a new white belt. I hate standing up and lifting people to try and pass.

Pressure pass for the win!

He's awesome.

Yesssss!!!! Andre IS a street fighter character

ok guys this is andre galvao, huge honor for me, i don't have to introduce him... but here we go i will introduce him anyway! much love ;)

Andre should be a movie star. He looks terrifying. But likeable and attractive at the same time.

great partner for video bernardo. oss

love it

This is amazing for me because this fits my body.

Great details! I'd just like to see if this technique is effective against Roger Gracie's closed guard... Lol

I'm new and I find standing up takes so much energy that if I end up in closed guard a second time it really begins to be detrimental to keep standing up. Maybe down the line this won't be a problem but right now I need an option that doesn't gas me. Also, I weigh 150 pounds meaning I'm always rolling with heavier partners except for the girls. But I'm also 6' tall meaning my legs have to travel greater range as levers to stand than a shorter guy.

I find Andre's advice on opening the guard by standing up and lifting the opponent more useful against stronger opponents. At the end of the day, that's what he does at competitions.

For all of the new white belts who don't have super flexible toes understand that the "tiger feet" spoken of in 5:50 can literally break your feet. I saw the same advice when I started BJJ four years ago on another YT video and took the advice. I fractured my feet while rolling lol. Even though it was excruciatingly painful I trained through it and now my toes are flexible enough to bend that way. Just a heads up that most of the these pros don't think about when handing this advice out and the "tiger feet" do work well once you gain the flexibility.

People have to understand that getting out of closed guard is like getting out of mount. It all requires proper position, control and timing. You're at a disadvantage, there is no easy one size fits all way of doing it against a resisting opponent.

At 7:54 Roger Gracie would have to disagree with you there, again not me but Roger Gracie. In this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/gmmHx6WLldHZh7Q.html start watching at 3:30 (for that video). Roger talks about how he doesn't believe there is a person alive that can open his closed guard while on their knees. The reason being is that they would have to fight his legs which are going to be stronger than the person's upper body. And he even stipulates that it isn't anything special about him, he says that the same thing would happen to him if he were in someone else's closed guard and they used the same technique. If Bernardo used his righthand to get a cross collar grip on Andre and used his legs to pull him in, it would have broken Andre's posture. Again I am a nobody and I am not the one saying this, this is coming from someone who many believe to be the all time GOAT, Roger Gracie. I have the utmost respect for Andre Galvao as an instructor and competitor, this critique is not meant to attack him but the idea he has presented. Edit: Was to stipulate opening Roger's closed guard.

@reggiegunn8934

I am a fan of Roger Gracie, but the grip Galvao is using is slightly different, he doesnt have it to the middle of the chest, but nearer to Bernardos shoulder, as you can see it makes it more difficult to put your hand to grip the opposite collar, he also turns his body adding more distance, & pressuring the legs. There are many concept at work here, same as Rogers prefered approach, its conceptual. Just try it out, if it works for you keep it, if not then be aware of it. Your opponent might use it on you.

@flanker909

Andre places himself in a position where he negates the power of his opponents legs completely. There are micro adjustments in his positioning, rotation and grip placement that make all the difference. Trust me, you will feel like the only thing your legs want to do is to open up, like you can't even resist in the first place. The only way to stop this is to break Andres higher grip early before he gets the second grip on your pants. If both grips are in place, just get ready to play open guard. Better open your guard on purpose and get a few seconds ahead of your opponent.

Here is a video of him explaining that you need to stand up to open the closed guard. kzread.info/dash/bejne/am2sycepo6i7f8o.html In reality the grand majority of closed guard breaks, on the adult black belt level, happen from standing positions.
