Waiter Sweep to Leg Drag

Transitioning from the waiter sweep to the leg drag position from single leg X guard involves several key steps:

1. Start in the single leg X guard with hooks tight. Use the right hand to cup the back of the opponent's knee, lifting their foot off the mat to allow your arm to scoop underneath the ankle.
2. Keep the opponent's leg tight to your body to prevent them from kicking out.
3. Place your left foot on the opponent's hamstring and begin rotating to your right, underhooking their left leg with your right arm.
4. As you rotate, kick your left leg out in front of you, ensuring it is above the opponent's knee to avoid ending up in deep half guard.
5. Lock your legs in a figure-four position with your left foot behind your right knee, keeping the opponent's ankle and shin on your bicep.
6. Use a pendulum motion with your legs to sweep the opponent onto their back, transitioning into the leg drag position.
7. Push on the opponent's leg with your left hand to create space, hooking your right leg behind their leg.
8. Scoop underneath with your left arm and reach for the collar as you come up into the leg drag position.
9. Drive your left knee to the mat and position your right knee at the opponent's hip, maintaining tight control and preparing to pass.
10. Keep your head hovering over the opponent's chest to ensure a strong position for the pass.

Throughout the technique, maintain tight control of the opponent's leg and ensure proper positioning to effectively transition from the waiter sweep to the leg drag and secure the pass.
