Knee Shield to One Leg X to X Guard Sweep (Intermediate)

Professor Edson Oliveira demonstrates a transition from a framed position into a full X guard to execute a powerful sweep. He emphasizes using an internal frame to prevent the opponent from collapsing their weight on your chest while you slide your bottom hook through to establish the X configuration. Maintaining a tight head position and controlling the opponent's knee or foot is crucial for off balancing. Edson explains that if the opponent feels too heavy to push forward, you should scoop your hips backward to compromise their base before driving them to the mat for the sweep.
