BRIDGE SWEEP: step by step in jiu-jitsu

SWEEPHALF GUARD · ON BOTTOMIBJJF +2

Step by step

  1. Close the half guard tight and never let him fully free his knee from your lock.
  2. Since his hips became a barrier, pull him slightly so you can reach and grip the pants.
  3. Keep one leg locking the half guard and plant the other foot on the floor.
  4. Push him to the side and wait for his natural reaction of returning his weight onto you.
  5. As he returns, bridge hard while the pants grip throws his leg to the side.
  6. If he withdraws the leg to escape, do not go back: keep pushing to prevent the pass.
  7. Turn onto your side following the controlled leg and put your knee and hand on the floor to rise.
  8. Come up on top and stabilize side control.
