About this video

Executing the Balloon Sweep when the opponent stands up in your guard:

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