About this video

Executing the Leg Bundle Upa Sweep from half guard involves a series of movements to off-balance and sweep the opponent:

  1. Start by getting underneath the opponent with a deep underhook and switching the hook.
  2. Scoot underneath the opponent, lifting their weight onto you and disconnecting their far knee from the mat.
  3. Bring the opponent's knees together, close enough to reach with your leg and take control.
  4. As you twist, the opponent will post their arm to prevent the sweep. Immediately block their tricep with your underhooking arm and free your head.
  5. Create a frame on the opponent's tricep with your thumb down to prevent them from coming back.
  6. Build your base by moving to your elbow and then your hand, with both hands on the mat.
  7. Drag your knees to realign your body so you end up on your knees and between your arms.
  8. Find the underhook again and get deep to the opponent's hip.
  9. Pull the opponent's hip over you, disconnecting their remaining post from the mat.
  10. Close a triangle over the opponent's knee line, twist, and post as they release their arm.
  11. Land your underhooking arm at the back of the opponent's tricep, come back to free your head, and establish your base with hands on the mat.
  12. Finally, drag your knees out to realign and complete the sweep.
