About this video
Transitioning to a collar sleeve grip from half guard, use the grip as a frame to prevent the opponent's shoulders from getting close. Maintain a strong cuff grip on the opponent's wrist and stuff it between their legs.
- Use your leg to push into the opponent's armpit, creating an off-balance to one side.
- Anticipate the opponent's reaction to rebalance and use their momentum to execute the sweep.
- Stuff the opponent's arm and simultaneously kick their leg to off-balance them.
- As the opponent tries to come back, pull across your body while bringing both knees to your chest and rock to your back.
- Load the opponent on top of both shins and take them over your shoulder.
- Immediately after the sweep, secure a kimura grip on the opponent's arm to either pass the half guard or attempt a submission.
This technique not only sweeps the opponent but also sets up a kimura, allowing you to stay ahead in the transition.
