So your opponent opened your guard and stood up. How about making a grip on one sleeve and another on the end of their opposite pant leg? This is how Rafael Costa starts to transition to the x-guard. Note how he steps on the passer’s left leg, opening space to reposition himself. The guard player’s left leg momentarily wraps around the passer’s right leg. The right hand goes to the collar and unbalances your opponent. To conclude the sweep, Rafa uses the technical stand-up mechanic.
Above is the new video from Rafael’s X-guard course made available at the Gallerr YouTube channel. Below are the two older ones.

"Training prepared agents goes far beyond simply being technically ready for a conflict. Thanks to Jiu-Jitsu, agents are created with self-control and self-confidence, who can deal with real situations calmly, clearly and ethically. My greatest responsibility is to make these professionals better trained, so that they can protect themselves and the population. This training is both technical and mental. A good security professional, trained in Jiu-Jitsu, can transform a potentially lethal situation into a non-lethal one, saving and sparing the lives of others. A police officer trained in Jiu-Jitsu, in many situations, does not need to use a firearm to defend himself, which offers security that goes beyond carrying a weapon. Thus, Jiu-Jitsu can be used to prevent the escalation of conflicts, where, through technical control, we can protect both the security agent and the citizen. All of our training is adapted to the realistic environment of the public or private security forces for which we are offering this training", says Daniel Ignacio at GRACIEMAG.com
