Executing the Suicide Roll sweep when the opponent counters with forward pressure:

  1. Initiate the movement by coming up to your knees, driving the opponent to your right.
  2. When the opponent responds by driving back into you, possibly stepping up a foot for more pressure, use their momentum for the sweep.
  3. Pull with the underhook and roll over your left shoulder.
  4. Your left hand can either grab their leg or create a frame against it to assist in completing the sweep.
  5. Roll onto your shoulder, using the frame to prevent the opponent from countering if you get stuck mid-sweep.
  6. Extend the leg against the frame to finish the sweep if necessary.
  7. Ideally, land in a strong passing position, ready to back step and secure side control.
  8. If the opponent resists the initial sweep attempt by driving back, commit to the roll and come up to your knees, then proceed to pass.
