The Mini Bump

I want to share with you one of the biggest advancements in my closed guard game in recent years. Bold statement… but this technique took my closed from manageable to downright miserable for my opponents.

Hopefully, that intro has piqued your curiosity and got you pumped to discover this secret. Without further ado, let me introduce you to the Mini Bump.

In recent years (probably due to Danaher), Kuzushi has become a well-known concept in BJJ. In case you haven’t heard of Kuzushi, it’s the idea of balance breaking prior to a technique and will make your attacks much more effective.

The Mini Bump is a form of Kuzushi. The great thing about the Mini Bump is it’s incredibly low risk and if your opponent isn’t expecting it, can lead to sweep or submission.

Rather than try to describe this incredible technique to you, go watch the video below.
