Connection To X Guard, Technical Standup - Standard Ashi

Connecting standard Ashi to X-Guard and executing a technical standup sweep:

1. From the standard Ashi position, off-balance your training partner forward to shift their weight onto the far leg.
2. Pummel to a shadow hook, using it to push their hips away and keep their weight off you.
3. Support their knee with your forward hand while pummeling your backward hand underneath their leg to control the top of their knee.
4. Extend your foot on their near hip to make it difficult for them to backstep and pass your guard.
5. Extend your legs to sit up onto your elbow, placing your bottom foot inside their knee.
6. Continue extending your legs as you bring your top leg to the mat and come up to your hand.
7. Perform a technical standup by first coming up to your knee to maintain posture, then standing up fully.
8. Finish the sweep by reaching down for their ankle or pants, driving weight into their hips, and pulling the foot up to sweep them.
