About this video
From the butterfly guard, start by maintaining one hook and control the opponent's feet with your other hand placed between their feet. Bring the opponent towards you and lift their leg with your right leg.
- Adjust your feet positioning after lifting the opponent's leg.
- Slide your hand down to grip the opponent's knee, keeping your leg under their knee.
- Use your left leg to perform a pendulum motion, which helps move the opponent forward.
- While performing the pendulum, pull the opponent's knee towards you to off-balance them.
- Walk a little if necessary, using the pendulum motion and your lower leg to assist in toppling the opponent forward.
- Once the opponent is off-balanced, use your lower leg to complete the sweep and prepare to move forward.
Ensure your right leg is on the ground to maintain balance and use your left leg to assist in the sweep. The combination of the pendulum motion and the lower leg sweep will effectively off-balance and topple the opponent, allowing you to advance your position.
