10 July 2007 -- Gi: spider guard sweep

Instructor D. T_____.

Technique:

1. while on back with Op standing, feet planted on Op's hips, grips on both Op's sleeves. Release one grip and hook a heal, drop same side leg as hooked heel. Sweep behind Op's leg opposite of hooked heel, with other foot still planted on Op's hips push, while sweeping Op's leg and pulling on hooked heal. As Op falls maintain grip using Op's momentum to pull you onto mont or side mount.

2. second technique was just a slight variatino on the above except for switching foot placement on Op's hip from outside to inside.

3. this techniques varied in that there was a switch grip on Op's sleeve and instead of sweeping leg from behind with grip side leg you use opposite side leg to insert hook in back of Op's knee.

With all above techniques emphasis is place on a sharp push un hips with leg to initiate sweep and create momentum in additon to Op's fall.
