SEESAW SWEEP: step by step in jiu-jitsu

SWEEPHALF GUARD · ON BOTTOMIBJJF +2

Step by step

  1. He wraps your head and underhooks: first frame his hip with your forearm, so he cannot smash you.
  2. With the other hand, wrap the arm he is underhooking with and close your elbow tight.
  3. Lock the half guard and step on the sole of your own foot, creating leverage with the hook.
  4. Bring both knees to the same side and fit your hips underneath his center of gravity.
  5. Squeeze your thighs tight and make the step in one quick motion, taking away his post.
  6. Continue the roll without releasing the arm until he falls completely to his side.
  7. Come up on top with the half guard still locked and immediately begin passing.
