Leg Kick and Takedown Counter to Over Head Sweep Entry (Fundamentals)

Professor André Gois teaches how to get to the overhead sweep after he is taken down by the opponent. In this self defense technique, André goes for a kick and the opponent traps the leg with their arm. The opponent then moves in and takes André down using a leg trip. André immediately starts to defend by gripping both sleeves, each with one hand. He then places both his feet on the opponent’s hips. He pulls the opponent in and then raises them by pushing on the hips. André keeps his legs extended and keeps the opponent’s arms up.
