[philcovaletudo]

@czaban11 but l do ;-)

[SkemeKOS]

@czaban11

This technique doesnt rely on strength so It would work on you too.

[moschetty]

so its an armbar sweep without the armbar

[desdavis]

mean sweep

[thebestplayerful]

wrestling video!

[thebestplayerful]

can i fight u two?

[thebestplayerful]

Hi girls I would love wrestle with you

[TheGuanche88]

I really dig girls training BJJ, flexible and all.

[DrVoltage1]

Thats pretty intresting, but all the opponent has to do is posture forward to stack you and its game over :(

[HawtRamen]

@DrVoltage1 That's why you break their posture in the beginning and underhook the leg.

[TheGrappleman1]

great sweep for if the arm bar fails

[Cawrestlermoto101]

pendulum sweep :D

[icantthinkofanythinp]

this is amazing!

she is very talented and man! she´s hot!

[aswtx75]

Tip: Before you swing your leg, do a little hip escape, scooting your but to the left a little and giving you a better angle for the sweep. That helps me because if I don't do that the angle isn't good and I get squashed :) You can still get it without the butt scoot but the scoot definitely raises the percentages. :)

[horacrux]

anyone else think this is hot?

[rickyonezero]

The Gracie JuiJitsu Intermediate Series shows this technique properly. you go for the arm bar the person ducks there head and you use the momentum from the arm bar to sweep ( in that order ). the sweeping leg, should skim the ground as you pivot your body sideways, utilizing your strongest muscles in your other leg to roll the person. The person getting turned gets font rolled. with no gi this would require wrist control

Having said that, if this girl tried this on me, I WOULD let it happen : )

[Robopencil]

@rickyonezero "Having said that, if this girl tried this on me, I WOULD let it happen : )"

LoL, dude, this chick would mop the mats with you (no offense).

I don't know how old this video is, but Hilary recently won gold at the mundials in the black belt division.

I will agree that there are some small issues with her execution here, but she's a really talented grappler who I'm sure has this technique down pat nowadays.

[VictorChensky]

@Robopencil

u dont know that for sure, girls are extremely weak physically in comparison. have u ever rolled with a high level girl grappler? sure they know a lot of techniques and can pull them off on other women but, the sheer size and strength difference is tremendous. if rickyonezero was at least a high level blue belt or a purple belt i would say hillary would have a hell of a time sweeping him with this move.

[ehirst1000]

@VictorChensky You do realise Hillary is a world champion, right?

[SkemeKOS]

@VictorChensky

Tell that to Cyborg.

Shes more of a man than men LOL

[fu3ar25]

watch Big Nog in the pride days he was the master at this

[lhdude51]

you have sweet leggings coming from a guy! Where did you get them??

[JKT6]

I find this sweep Really tough to pull of, i think i need to work on my technique

[druona50]

That is just a pengalum sweep and it is not eben done that great one tug and you can get your arm out.

[ezarr123]

ROFL. I ditto ilcvmvm's comment.

[PepsiJack]

pretty good looking sweep... but why not just go for the armbar from that position?

[handsomegorilla]

because the sweep and armlock play off each other so by attacking one you open the other option constantly

[hoovalappa]

its better to sweep first, then go for the armbar, she still has her arm after she sweeps

[lolll666]

@PepsiJack because you can go for an armbar after the sweep anyway, and doing arm bars from top is higher percentage. and if you don't end up getting the arm bar, at least you got points for sweep//mount

[jakebjj84]

U can do that. Thats the first way i learned this one but, personally I love to ground and pound so mount would be a good one too.

[ilcvmvm]

how cute women doing mma.

[Nevershoutfranya]

i will you that tecnic when i get in troubles xD!

[miklboy1]

would go for a mir lock instead

[devmyste]

it doesnt look brutal so much as hot...

[tcardosob]

beautifull reversal. one of my favourites

[wojownikpolski]

Hi  girls I would love wrestle with you

[blacklabel67k]

@wojownikpolski LMAO

[billysue2]

theres no way that overhook would control her arm,it needs to be above the elbow.Also shes not using the free leg properly to create sweeping momentum.

[danpats1]

i like when Joanne explains the technique better b/c then I can hear her beautiful South African accent

[randomhero20022]

I think she's australian

[bravosteelviper]

@randomhero20022

She's from Arkansas, not Australia.

[vinniewayne]

First of all, congrats !!! Really good vids, ur very talented !! As long as I know, this is called Balalanga !!!

[PixieTrina]

i came

[jakeman1234]

Gun?

[cmacaoidh]

Why not just armbar from there? If you really wanted to combine the motions, you could sweep and armbar at the same time, ensuring the success of one or the other, likely both. True, you need hip mobility, but the leg-kick would be eliminated by pushing your hips upward to give you the impetus for a sweep, and they're not likely to be able to stack you, since that would just bury them deeper into the armbar. I also don't like having my hand under the leg if there's striking involved.

[DanHipp]

I use the flower sweep after faking the armbar from the guard...when you fake like youre armbarring, the opponent tries to pull away from you and thus gives you the leverage to flower sweep them the opposite direction.

[brutuzrawk]

ALRIGHT! I gotta mention a wicked detail my sensei revealed to us;

When the outside leg (in this case left) goes to kick forward and produce motion for rolling use this montion in the direction of their head, bashing them where you want to let them know they're going. It's ideal for the kneck to lock onto the knee joint.

[brutuzrawk]

As your opponent rolls over you maintian pressure and force on thier head by sraightening your knee(pre-emptive setup) as it cranks to face the opposite direction of their intended escape (when they feel the lock). When your opponent hits the mat you're in armbar and they are looking the wrong way all caught up in some deep armbar action as all that rolling force channeled directly into the attack. Just make sure you can properly pinch those knees first ;)

[skifreezack]

how i wish i was hillay.. LOL. Love yah Joanne. ♥

[killerkowalczyk]

Honestly I know alot of Jiu Jitsu has to do with technique but nobody would ever be able to hold my leg like that, I would simply widen my base and break that persons grip WITH EASE, good to train this sweep though, might work on someone with ZERO experience.

[silverbackpunk2]

It's a nice sweep becuase they think your going for an armbar.

[raoulthompson]

anyone who talks as much shit as you has never in my experience ended up knowing too much. In martial arts you either get cocky and plateau or stay humble forever. Keep talkin shit while the rest of us train day in day out and while you're getting your leg broken you can worry about how little experience you have. A cocky black belt = white belt mistake.

[jimmylazer]

We were taught to do this sweep only when your opponent has one knee up and their leg is near enough for you to grab it. I would just do a scissor sweep if they have both knees on the ground.

[jsg103]

Don't talk unless you train, everybody thinks they are a bjj expert until they get on the mat.

[planete5k]

this man speaks the truth.

[paythetoll275]

isn't this very similar to the Pendulum Sweep?

[UncleMowglie]

very nice

[behemoth6079]

yea just cross your left leg over her face and you have an armbar.

[PanicPulse]

wait until you see the next video

[FlameOwens]

Joanne Rd.#1 Via Vicious TKO

[avxMMAguy]

Im sure its obvious, but you also have that armbar right there right? Would it be better to get that armbar or the sweep?

[abcdenoerrors]

both would be ideal. after the sweep, there's an easy armbar. after you lock the armbar, cup the leg, and easy sweep. in mma, i'd rather be on top, so sweep, but if you're down on points, and it's near the end of the round, definetly armbar for the finish

[raoulthompson]

it also depends what the person is looking to defend since they kind of have to pick one

[EdwinBobo]

Wonder could you work that into a armbar or would it be to risky??

[slojhammer]

One of my favorite sweeps.

MMA Girls is amazing!

[IgWannA2]

wanted to see joanne try it

[arthuro13]

i was all like

[jan11678]

She did that sweep wrong. call the BJJ police.

[3JTpimp]

[Gilgamesh417]

[thomasTANKbaber]

[drunkskunk005]

Joannne would take her in a street fight.

[TommyDelicious]

HD????

[mr007tycoon]

Nice move. It kind of made me hot though. Is that wrong?

[jetta69]

thats sick. great way to get mount!

[666LordInfamous666]

that was hot

[ajaxsf]

Flower sweep? Never heard it called that before, but I'm an old timer.

[monarofreak]

awesome sweep, first time i've ever seen that one. That'd wprk great for setting up an armbar aswell

[gijoyojo1]

Nice move panic pulse I am sad that you won't subscribe even after I got the entire fight card right for the toughest event to call this year,but nice move anyway.

[fliper46]

good stuff, frank mirs the next heavyweight champion btw :)

[djhbv23]

[Dec0o]

he already owned brock

[nvcn86]

one of my sparring partners really got me with this one when i saw it the first time, it works pretty good.

[DarkestOne7]
