Sit Up Guard Sweep to Side Control (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to sweep the opponent using the sit up guard. Lucas starts with the de la riva. He explains how to push the opponent and use the grip on the sleeve to help him come up. As he comes up to the sit up guard, he controls the sleeve with the arm around the leg. He also maintains the grip on the sleeve with the other hand. Lucas now pushes the opponent forward with his legs. Keeping the sleeve grip inward prevents the opponent from posting. The opponent falls over and Lucas rocks his legs forward as he pulls the sleeve in. This action finishes sweeping the opponent over. Lucas now pushes forward and uses his legs to remove the opponent’s leg from under him. This allows Lucas to finish in the side control position.
