About this video

Executing the Outside Hook Sweep from the double sleeve guard:

  1. When attempting an overhead sweep and the opponent is resistant and remains stationary, transition to the outside hook.
  2. Maintain a tight grip on the sleeves while shifting your body to a sideways position relative to your opponent.
  3. Place an outside hook by lifting your partner's foot with your hooking leg.
  4. Release one sleeve grip and secure the opponent's ankle to prevent them from turning back into you.
  5. From this position, you have the option to either go towards the knee or the back.
  6. Finalize the sweep by moving into side control, maintaining control of the ankle to ensure the opponent cannot easily escape.
