Half Guard Pull to Sweep to Side Control (Intermediate)

Professor Frederico Silva shows how to get to the side control using a half guard sweep. Frederico starts with the arm and collar control. He takes a step forward and switches his collar grip to the back of the opponent’s belt. The opponent defends by stepping back and Frederico once again takes a step forward and uses his leg to hook the opponent’s leg as he falls to the mat pulling the opponent down. He is now in the half guard position. Frederico now controls the belt and the inside of the opponent’s knee and bridges to the other side to sweep the opponent. Frederico then moves to the side control position.
