Closed Guard Bolo

Executing a Berimbolo from the closed guard begins with the opponent standing up. Secure a cross collar grip immediately as they rise. Open the closed guard and re-clamp it just above their knees to establish a leg clamp position.

1. With the opponent's legs trapped, preventing them from posting, use the right hand on the collar to pull them down to the mat.
2. Keep the feet crossed and decide whether to maintain the collar grip or reach for the belt to go inverted.
3. Options from the inverted position include rolling backwards to transition into mount or rolling forward to expose the opponent's back, securing it by controlling the back of the collar.
4. The leg clamp position, initiated from closed guard, provides strong control and limits the opponent's movement, allowing for a transition to the back or mount without releasing the clamp until the final position is secured.

This technique is effective and can be frustrating for the opponent, as it offers a seamless transition from a controlled closed guard to a dominant leg clamp, and finally to a mount or back take.
