Learning the Rocambole Sweep

Rocambole Sweep

Rocambole Sweep Breakdown from Z-Guard 

This sweep is demonstrated by Professor Marco Joca at Grace Barra HQ in Irvine California. A rather intelligent sweep coming from a Z-guard defensive position. In this position, the defending opponent is thinking about 3 things: keeping his opponent from putting his entire weight on him, controlling the arm, and going for the sweep. Keep in mind that a successful sweep is done by manipulating the opponent’s center of gravity causing him to lose balance.
