Positions/Sit Up Sweeps/Technical Standup

Technical Standup

Position Details

The technical standup allows you to stand safely from guard when your opponent disengages. It's a fundamental movement that leads to top position or re-engagement.

Key Principles

  • Post one hand behind you while keeping the other forward as a frame
  • Step up with the foot opposite to your posting hand
  • Drive through your posted hand and foot to stand
  • Maintain forward pressure to prevent them from shooting

Concepts

  • Posting Hand: Your posted hand bears weight and provides base
  • Forward Frame: The forward hand frames against their approach
  • Diagonal Line: Stand at an angle, not straight up
  • Immediate Engagement: Don't let them react - engage or disengage immediately
