Difficulty V of X
  1. 01

    From closed guard, secure a deep grip on the opponent's same side sleeve at the wrist and control the opposite pant leg at the knee.

  2. 02

    Open the guard and plant the foot on the controlled knee side flat upon the mat, establishing a stable post.

  3. 03

    Draw the opponent forward and off balance by pulling the sleeve toward your chest, inviting their weight over their planted knee.

  4. 04

    Thread the free leg high across the opponent's same side hip, hooking behind the thigh near the pant leg grip.

  5. 05Precision point

    At the instant the opponent's weight commits forward, redirect the captured wrist sharply across their own centerline rather than merely upward, breaking their frame before the sweep begins.

  6. 06

    Kick the hooking leg outward while pivoting the hips beneath the opponent, rotating their base over the trapped knee.

  7. 07

    Follow the rotation to seated or kneeling position, retaining both grips to secure top control.
