What is the most effective guard to sweep against a standing opponent?

[Griffin Lambert]

I've been using spiral but a lot of the time I'm just inverting or granbying around back and forth without much sweep success. I get leg locks and sweeps against less experienced training partners but I really have no fucking idea what I'm doing. What's your go to guard against a standing opponent looking to pass?

[Eddie Bravo]

Against a standing opponent, you basically get REALLY good at warm ups H

[sean applegate]

Yup. Dlr, rdlr, butterfly, x-guard and all it's variations. Lots of material

I really like the kiss of the dragon sweep. It is my go to for a standing opponent. I have a lot of success with it. I also use quarter guard for standing opponents, I feel like I'm able to unbalance my opponent enough that he gets into a lower stance so I can get a better clinch.

Renzo Gracie vs. Oleg Taktarov is my favorite example of what to do in MMA against a standing opponent Renzo is such a bad ass

[Eddie Bravo]

Also what Viv said

[Louis Ho]

Stand up yourself, clinch and pull butterfly guard. From there you get either overhook or underhook and work the sweep. Classic JJ Machado.

[Tori Applegate]

I like the basic butterfly..hands on the ankles push pull sweep. I have a decent amount of reps on it so I have a decent success rate.
