Transitioning from a double arm drag to a one leg X-guard sweep:
- When performing a double arm drag, it's not always necessary for your leg to be completely clear of the opponent's body.
- If the opponent sits on their heels, their legs are hidden by their weight. When they post to prevent the drag, they expose their legs.
- As you attempt the double arm drag and the opponent steps up to cage you in, you can transition to attacking their legs.
- Move out to the opponent's back on the side you are dragging. As they step up and cage you in, you can no longer move around them.
- Even if you don't have perfect control of the arm, continue stepping underneath the opponent to find the leg position for one leg X.
- Control the opponent with the one leg X and look for sweeping opportunities based on their reactions.
- One effective sweep is the double ankle sweep. As the opponent stands up for more base, lift them forward with your hook and grab both ankles.
- Lift your hips and push the opponent straight back to complete the sweep. It's a simple yet difficult sweep for the opponent to stop.
- As the opponent stands, it's easier to execute the sweep during the transition before they find their footing.
This technique is about timing and taking advantage of the opponent's movements to set up the one leg X-guard and execute a sweep.
