Scissor Sweep & Choke Combo – from closed guard (Loop Choke)
Start in the closed guard with the same side collar sleeve grip, gripping their left sleeve with your right arm.
1 – Create space and pull your opponent towards you. Do this by posting both feet on their hips and pushing while you lean back as you pull them towards you. While you’re doing this, do not extend your legs all the way.
2 - Once you have created some space, continue to keep pressure on their left hip with your right leg as you slide your left knee and shin across their hips.
3 – pull them forward over your shin as you rock back and kick your right leg straight
4 – kick your left leg over as you scissor with your bottom right leg to hit the sweep.
IF they posture when your are trying to hit the sweep
THEN arch your back and push their knee out with the bottom of your foot
Don’t try to push their knee back, push it out. Once it’s out, point your toes up and sweep then over your leg.
*when you are hitting sweeps from the guard, it’s important to flatten the leg which you are sweeping them over.
IF they lean forward and try to sprawl pass
THEN hit the loop choke
Keep the collar grip
arch your back
kick their posting knee out to make them fall forward
once they lean into you and fall towards you, slide your right arm behind their neck and hook your right hand under your left elbow
kick your left leg up onto their back
If they try to fight your collar grip, then kick your left leg way up over their right shoulder
IF they posture before you try to hit the sweep
THEN go back to open guard
keep hip pressure and maintain contact on their hips with your feet
and start over with the sweep
Keeping hip contact until you hit the sweep is very important. If you loose hip contact you cannot control distance as well and will likely get passed by a saggy sprawl pass.
