X-Guard to Technical Standup

Transitioning from X-Guard to a technical standup sweep involves several key steps to maintain control and effectively bring the opponent down:

1. Maintain tight control with your feet flexed and positioned high on the opponent's leg throughout the sweep.
2. Use both feet to extend the opponent away from you, which will make them uncomfortable and off-balance.
3. Choose to either keep one foot on the opponent's hip or place it on the inside of their knee for additional control.
4. Begin the technical standup by placing your foot on the mat and posting up on your elbow.
5. Lift your hips and proceed to stand up while maintaining control of the opponent's leg.
6. Once standing, you have multiple options such as pulling on the knee and circling to the outside to break the opponent down, or sweeping out their leg for further attacks.
7. Ensure that your grips and head pressure are secure, as a loose hold will compromise the sweep.
8. After executing the sweep, immediately look to transition to passing the opponent's guard.

Keeping everything tight and controlled is crucial for the success of this sweep from the X-Guard to the technical standup.
