Sweeps part 1 - Gorilla sweeps

Gorilla sweeps - so called because you need some brute force to get them to work.

Step 1 - Make your opponent off balance by moving his head and upper body outside of the contact points that he has with the mat.

Step 2 - Anticipate how he will post and prevent that post from happening

Step 3 - Apply a small amount of force so the opponent falls.

The brute force is applied at step 1, not step 3.
