Sweep your opponent from the knees

Kudos to Matt Arroyo for creating this video. A super short and fun one.

Review

This is a super short and quite fun sweep that can be done when both of you start from the knees, especially if there’s a lot of people on the mat. It’s not super technical, so it works great for beginners as well, but it may have quite limited usage.

How I Drill

  1. Both you and your opponent start on your knees
  2. Grab his sleeve
  3. Grab his collar
  4. Lift your leg and cross it over to his other knee
  5. Pull his arm
  6. Push him over

A super fun and easy sweep to do, which doesn’t require too much drilling.
