Let’s take a look at 4 of Gracie Barra Blog’s favorite sweep techniques that you can try in your own rolls.
ㅤ
1- “Old school” Half Guard foot grab sweep
Master Carlos Gracie Jr teaches the most effective half-guard sweep that works both Gi and No-Gi. This is the 1st sweep that you should master from half guard bottom.
ㅤ
2- Half Guard Cross Body Sweep – No-Gi
Prof. Tussa continues the half guard bottom position and shows a reversal out the back door that reverses the position and allows you to take the top position.
ㅤ
3- Single Leg X to X-Guard sweep
This variation of the X-guard sweep by Prof. Rodrigo Fajardo is from his GB2 module
ㅤ
4-Cross Arm Rollover sweep from closed guard
Prof. Braulio Estima teaches when we break the opponent’s grip and cross their arm – exposing the passer’s back. When the opponent shifts their weight to protect their back, they create the momentum for this simple, but effective sweep.
