Breakdown: Tails Sweep from Half Guard


from Vince's Lost Techniques DVD. It's my favorite and most useful. I need to dig that DVD out and pick a couple more techniques for my Half Guard.

1. Grip at his elbow with left hand, and keeps it stuffed there at my elbow or lower level.
2. Right hand, grip his pants at the knee, or behind it.
3. Shift both my legs, with his trapped leg, to the left, to the mat -- that should bring his head closer to the mat, and this makes his body lighter.
4. My right hand picks his leg up, straightens, then swings it near my head.
5. Do a backwards Roll and he comes with me for the sweep and I end up in Top Half Guard. Sweet.

Next up: Shaolin Sweep. Kind of similar but i think he gets the knees into the guy's belly and rolls him that way.
