Overhead Sweep

Executing an overhead sweep when the opponent grips your collar in single leg X guard:

1. Start in single leg X guard with control over one of your opponent's legs, but they grip your collar, anchoring their weight and preventing a backward sweep.
2. Use your right hand to feed your opponent's sleeve to your left hand, which should make a pistol grip.
3. Switch your hooks: move your right foot from the opponent's hamstring to their opposite hamstring, and replace it with your left foot on the back of their leg.
4. Reach your right hand to the back of your opponent's collar and pull them down to break their posture.
5. Kick out slightly with your legs to push your opponent back, prompting them to close the distance again.
6. As they come forward, load their weight onto your legs and use their momentum to kick up and roll them overhead.
7. Follow through by rolling with your opponent and coming up on top in a dominant position, ready to knee cut or force half guard for a pass.

It's important to control the opponent's sleeve and collar to break their posture, and use their momentum against them for the sweep. Once on top, close the gap quickly to secure a dominant position and initiate your passing sequence.
