SCISSOR SWEEP: step by step in jiu-jitsu

SWEEPCLOSED GUARD · ON BOTTOMIBJJF +6

Step by step

  1. From closed guard, make the cross collar grip, always threatening a choke.
  2. Control the sleeve of his arm on the same side: a grip harder to break than the wrist.
  3. Open the guard and hip escape to the side opposite to the one you are holding.
  4. Place your knee across the middle of his chest; the other leg stays low, at knee height.
  5. Use the foot of your top leg as a hook in his armpit and open his arm upward and to the side.
  6. Pull the sleeve and swing the bottom leg diagonally while the hook guides his torso: he loses his base.
  7. Follow the roll and come up without releasing the controlled arm, preventing him from posting.
  8. Move your hips over the top and organize your knees to stabilize mount.
