Executing the Balloon Sweep when the opponent stands up in your guard:
- Start in the same position as before, but react when the opponent stands up to defend.
- Remove your foot from their hip, place it on the ground, and elevate your hips.
- As you lift your hips, pull with your other leg to force the opponent to step forward.
- Hook the inside of the opponent's thigh tightly to prevent them from stepping out.
- Remove the foot that was on their bicep and place it against where their belt would be.
- Push their arms back to disrupt their base and simultaneously lift with your legs.
- Complete the sweep by landing the opponent down on the mat.
