One Leg X-Guard to X-Guard Side Shoulder Roll Sweep (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates a side shoulder roll sweep from the X-Guard beginning in the one leg X-Guard. The situation begins with Lucas establishing the one leg X-Guard. He controls the opponent’s trapped knee by gripping the pants and grips the bottom of the opponent’s pants on the free leg. He transitions to the X-Guard. He unhooks his far leg and brings it through the opponent’s legs and places is on the inner hip next to his other foot. In this situation, when Lucas lifts the opponent over his head the opponent uses both arms to post and prevent himself from falling. From his inverted position, Lucas can choose to do a side shoulder roll in either direction to complete the sweep. From the sitting position controlling both of the opponent’s legs, Lucas removes his feet from the hips and puts them together in front of him to come up into combat base.
