Submissions 101: Plan B Sweep from Half Guard

[klarvis]

were they all bowing before they went to try the position?

[dragomanrd2]

can the guy on top remove his over hook to post out or will that not work? what do you do if he does?

[FuckingBoozer]

When I try this at class, I usually unhook my right leg and push off the ground as I sweep. Is this ok? I find it guarantees the sweep alot more than just holding the lockdown as I sweep.

[livinalie2007]

this seems to be a good sweap but what if the guy on top post with his right hand when you go to roll. he isnt always going to tie his arm up with a overhook.

[Submissions101]

No overhook (wizzer) then the guy on the bottom takes his back. The wizzer is what prevents the guy on the bottom from getting the top guys back.

[b0ris360]

Whenever I use the lockdown from half guard, my opponent stands up and causing me to footlock myself! does anyone have an answer to this? Until I find an answer to that, all of the half guard techniques that I do are without the lock down.

[Submissions101]

If someone is standing up in your lock down, you aren't holding them down enough (double under hooks!!!). If they DO stand, you release the lockdown and go for a sweep.

[NegativeLiberty13]

bjj 101, control their posture.

[NoPalePastels]

Somebody watched the Erik Paulson video.

[LouhMaylin]

yea the point ave the lockdown is to keep them locked DOWN so keep it tight and double underhook so they cant stand. most people will be so worried about the double under that you can whip up with ease

[saucygravy505]

yup makes sense .. thanx... i have pulled the electric chair a few times live... and everyone that i have pulled it on ... has tapped ... guess no one that has done karate since birth. hah

[saucygravy505]

hey ari .. much respect ... i was wondering if there is a way to stop him from posting out with his hand? .. thanx

[Submissions101]

If he posts out with the hand it means he no longer has a whizzer in and therefore you can take his back. Or you can transfer to the Electric Chair if he posts out (see video). Hope that helps.

[Moskau0320]

thats plan C! lol plan A is to take his back.. if he wizards you.. plan be is sweep his knee, if he posts, plan c would be to swing him like that. Its all about taking the back if he gives it away.

[302BJJ]

i use this one quite a bit as failsafe to old school. it works great when guys base but dont shift their weight back. if the do shift back i just pop out and get up into dog fight position.

[invalid1210]

Very good move i always wanted a plan b from that escape. Some people over power my whizzer or base out like that so this move is a brilliant counter to a counter.

[Shrtfz]

if he was going 100% that leg wouldnt have been easy to get. I think you should go 100 to really show how it works.

[Submissions101]

This is rocked out lots in live 100% resistance grappling. True, not all moves are super easy to get as shown in demos (above) but as your perfect the move, you add more speed and power until you master it-just like any move in jiu jitsu.

[bdr8y]

Does it ever get tiring to answer the "it wouldn't work in comp" goons?

[Submissions101]

Laugh...sometimes. What really amazes me is that some people can't see the move for what it is worth or simply don't understand the "context" in which the video(s) are made. What KILLS me is when guys write "that shit would never work in a real fight. You'd get stomped to death." Um yeah..that is why some of these moves are SPORT and if you can't see the difference well...there is no point in answering.

[invalid1210]

LOL shrtfz why would it be hard to get the leg for this move; this move is specifically made for if the leg moves out like that in your reach. Plz think b4 u write stuff like that mr 100%.

[sdpadresfan]

i really love this move. i go for it against the bigger guys and they go nuts!!

[zetone33]

will someone please pick up the phone?Its been calling everytime i watch this video, great vid btw favorited :D

[TriangleJiuJitsu]

just a personal observation: i have more success with this sweep when i shoot my body underneath the opponent rather than trying to lift their leg up. if your opponent has a hard whizzer it can be very hard to lift that leg. granted i never play half guard with lock down so maybe its different in that case.

[Submissions101]

yes...it will give you more momentum for the sweep and usually you are on your knees in the dog fight and then shot under, lift the leg and get the sweep. Anytime you can use gravity in the martial arts, it is a good thing ;-)

[diabolic42090]

Very nice technique. Do you prefer this one over the electric chair?

[baywest]

hey i got Eddie's book but i still don't get the old school. I see Eddie Bravo do it a lot in his competitions but i don't get how its done. Did u make a vid for that and if u didn't, can you???

[Submissions101]

there is a video of it ;-)

[kenshin715]

Great vid!5 stars

[vginawhisperer]

I think you're supposed to release the Lockdown and curl your leg towards your butt before you c-cup his leg and roll him over. Confirm with Eddie.

[Submissions101]

Sometimes people will hit Plan B when they whip up and get to the dog fight position (on the knees) but this works as well. You DO NOT want to unlock the lockdown because you want to control the guys body. If you release the lockdown while trying to go for it from your shoulder, you won't have that great control.

[vginawhisperer]

You outrank me with the purple, but I know my Twist Back and Plan B Sweep. See Page 71 in MTRG.

[Submissions101]

Hey Bro...its not a contest. The BOOKS are a guide line and as anyone knows in the 10th P system, there are tweeks and variations ALL over the place. Don't be a slave to just one thing-that is EDDIE's main philosophy and that INCLUDES his own system. The double bagger, Asylum, straight jacket, hardcore, reaper or turtle neck aren't in the books either...doesn't mean they don't work...they just haven't found their way into the general populace yet. That is why we are SHARING these vids...

[vginawhisperer]

Touche.

[ShinsengumiTaicho1]

I like this in class format. It compliments the standard format well.

[riseofthefall]

I was trying old school yesterday and I couldnt get the whip up either...Im new. I could see his foot but just couldnt transfer the weight. I got the lockdown tight and the underhooks but the next step is where I fall into trouble.

[T850CSM101a1676]

Hey that is an awesome sweep to go for!

[spyfawkes]

but what if he doesn't keep the whizzer? won't he be able to stop the sweep?

[Submissions101]

No Whizzer = taking his back!

[groundnpound702]

this is 100% full proof.

[Noyjeetut]

Looks slick... but a bit hard without the Gi.

[Submissions101]

Hard without the gi???? or easier you mean?

[Noyjeetut]

Meant harder without the Gi. Seems like you could catch some slack of the pants to help perform the move better than just trying to get a hold of it bare.

[lookahere]

Beautiful. Can't wait to try it.

[rustynail77]

when the guy on top gives up his underhook to get base, would the best thing to do is get the back?

[NeenjaVanish]

Eddie's half guard sweeps are all good but I have way more trouble actually getting the whip up to work than I do getting the actual sweeps to work.

[PacificFlows]

the whip up is probably one of the moves that require the most drilling, but it's a key component of 10th planet, and should be mastered.

lots of drilling is all i can say.

[tkmemberz]

really nice stuff.

wat is this martial art? is it jiu jistsu?

[Submissions101]

Yes-10th planet Jiu Jitsu

[guillotinegod]

well done! ill give that a try!
