have you tried youtube?
The closed guard is underrated. You have to get a competent closed guard. The pendulum, flower, scissor, and hook sweeps are very basic sweeps which work very well. Getting good at these sweeps will improve the rest of your jiu-jitsu. Noobs often find that they need the newest Eddie Bravo move and that those basics don't work. More and more, I find that they do work well - I just didn't have the timing or a few details right back when I started jiu-jitsu.

Anyone have videos or anything for some sweeps from guard? I know the Scissor(sp?) sweep and that is about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
by far my favorite is the sweep war machine used on fightnight.. however it doesnt work everytime. case in point matt serra vs hughes II.

This is the hip bump sweep. I don't know why it isn't used more in MMA.by far my favorite is the sweep war machine used on fightnight.. however it doesnt work everytime. case in point matt serra vs hughes II.
I don't count hook sweeps as a closed guard sweep as obviously you have to open your guard to put the hook in, thus it ceases to be closed guard, and becomes more of a butterflyish type guard. You can call it a hook sweep setup from closed guard, but it isn't a closed guard sweep itself (at least IMO).
I see what you're saying, and I mostly agree with you.That a little too strict of a taxonomy. By your definition, every triangle choke is from either closed guard or mount. Obviously that is not true. Every sweep is an open guard sweep too. It defeats the purpose of creating a taxonomy in the first place.
it's all good dude, you're just curious. if you want to be good at sweeps though, you might look into a different guard than full...half guard, butterfly guard and x guard are some really good guards that combo together really well...de la riva (even though i don't like it personally) is good with those guards too...now hit up some youtube.
You are completely correct if you are talking pure grappling. As far as MMA goes, the De La Riva and X Guard are great ways to get killed in my opinion. Obviously every technique CAN work, but I feel like you have to have black belt level skill to use these guards effectively in MMA. In MMA full guard > all other guards in my opinion.
