Elevator Sweep from Single Leg X when the opponent is on their knees:

  1. Start in Single Leg X position with the opponent on their knees, disengaged from standing sweep attempts.
  2. If the opponent posts out with their left hand, control their tricep with your right hand, pulling it towards you.
  3. Simultaneously, grip the opponent's pant leg with your left hand.
  4. Place the foot that is on the opponent's hip onto the mat.
  5. Kick your right foot out at an angle to your right while pulling the opponent's tricep towards you, aiming to bring them onto their side.
  6. With the grip on the tricep, you maintain control, preventing the opponent from scrambling away.
  7. Proceed to come up on top, transitioning to Knee on Belly or settling for Side Control.
  8. Continue holding the tricep for a potential submission, such as an Armbar, by stepping your leg over the opponent's head.
  9. Eliminate any posting hand of the opponent to secure the sweep, using the pant grip and tricep control.
  10. After the sweep, choose between securing position or transitioning to a submission based on the situation.
