BJJ Performance Professor:
Here are a couple tips for taking this
sweep's effectiveness to another level:
First, fundamentals you probably
know but are commonly overlooked:
- Make sure to sit up with your hand
posted on the mat behind you, not
just your elbow.
- Cup (don't simply wrap your arm
around) your partner's arm to the side
of their body on the side you're going to
so they can't post.
Now here's the "secret sauce"...
(When I started doing this as a purple
belt, this technique became a WEAPON!)
As you sit up, plant both of your feet flat on
the mat before you lift your hips and twist.
It takes you an extra half-beat sometimes,
but most people drive off just one foot.
Adding the drive of both feet gives you
MUCH more power - and enables you to
lift you hips higher into your opponent's
chest... which also means higher than their
center of gravity!
