Executing a sweep from the lasso to the butterfly hook and transitioning into X-Guard:

  1. Start by sweeping the standing opponent with a back roll, maintaining control of their leg on your shoulder.
  2. Grab the opponent's head and reach your hand as deep as possible into their armpit while keeping their leg on your shoulder.
  3. Ensure your left hook stays in place and bring your right leg out to prevent the opponent from closing their legs.
  4. Spread the opponent's legs using your hook and the leg on your shoulder, applying pressure with your shoulder under their jaw.
  5. If the opponent hides their jaw, back up slightly and work your shoulder deeper under their jaw.
  6. Cross your leg over but keep your hips up, bringing your leg close to the other leg.
  7. Remove your hook, pass it under your knee, and stabilize by bringing their arm on top of your thigh.
  8. Stay low to prevent the opponent from pushing your head into a triangle, keeping your head high and close to their head to secure side control.
  9. For the sweep, transition from the lasso to the butterfly hook, then to the X-Guard with the hook, and execute a back roll.
  10. Post your left knee on the ground, stand up close, and continue to grab the opponent's arm while reaching deep into their armpit.
  11. Spread the opponent's legs, cross your leg to the other side, and pass your hook to the side, keeping your legs open and your head low.
  12. As you pass, keep your head high to avoid the opponent pushing your face towards their legs, securing the position.
