More detailed instruction on Patreon.com/KnightJiuJitsu
Understanding and executing sweeps can be a tricky thing in the beginning...and well after, too. These are possibly the most important sweeps to learn early on, partly because the remain useful and high-percentage, and partly because the are rich in principles that govern all sweeping techniques.
There are multiple variations of these, and hundreds of sweeps from various guards. I focus in this video on these closed guard sweeps only:
1. Elevator Sweep
2. Hip Bump Sweep
3. Scissor Sweep
4. Pendulum Sweep
These are great sweeps by themselves or when combined with each other, other sweeps or certain complementary submissions.

When I started off as a white belt, the third scissor sweep is what I used almost everytime. Eventually, though, the other white belts caught on and started making better bases and I couldn’t do it anymore haha

@Spanky00Cheeks 4 жыл бұрын

If they really base out to prevent the scissor sweep to one side, maybe you can switch to a butterfly sweep on the other side. Hook the wide based leg, hip escape to the same side, and catch them by surprise? Just spitballing :)
