Are you pressing the back of the knee with the shin, or is the shin used or leverage? i tried to use this and my opponent used the momentum of my sweep and rolled me back on my back. i catch a lot of people with this, but i sometimes get rolled by more skilled practitioners.

@TJhandford524 Hmmm....I'll have to think about how you are getting rolled back. I have never really had this issue to much, even to this day with all levels. Basically I'm pressing my shin into the back of their knee as I try to lift my hips up a little. You can always see me lifting my hips up but I am definitely putting the pressure by lifting my hips. It's also a good idea to remember to use your hands to keep your opponent down.

Ive used this for while. How do you respond when he grabs behind your head? He keep his balance that way and can free the leg eventually. Happened to me today.

[jasculs]

@schmolywar If you do the 2nd variation it should not matter at all if they grab your head. Only matters for the first variation I show.

[jasculs]

Yeah I can most likely just keep taking him to the left cause he isn't blocking it and it's the way I'm going anyway.

I just realised that I have been doing this sweeps for a couple of months now without even realizing it !

i just want to say your tech are awesome.. i have used several of your moves and won matches.. thanks a lot.. Osss

[unsupa]

this sweep is awesome. easy yet effective.

[TJhandford524]

@jasculs OKAY! got it. I didn't lift my hips. going through the motion with my training partner, I felt like i had much more control and I was able to pass to a mount cleanly. I was pushing off of my hands before. Why it worked before is because i would push off in the direction my opponent's knee was pointing. I got it now! Thanks Jason!

I never knew you would be able to use the inside leg to sweep. I've started using this sweep more often, but only using the outer leg to sweep. Would you say using the inside leg is any harder? Or would it be just as easy as using the outer leg? Great instructional jasculs.

@guillotinegod well pretty similar, nice variation!

[guillotinegod]

Yes! i would love hitting this sweep due to its effectiveness! You can see marcelo garcia hitting this sweep against shinya aoki! I love to hit this sweep from butterfly guard
