Single Leg X Guard - Basic Setup and Sweep Against Combat Base

Here is one of my favorite sweeps when my opponent is in their combat base. - Hi, this is Perry Wirth with Neutral Ground Grafton. I have my partner here, Dan Helpman, and we're going to be showing a technique called Single Leg X Guard as well as a Basic Sweep off of it. So. This is a great move when my partner has one leg up. And I'm able to go shin to shin here. My other foot, is just gonna sit inside like a little butterfly hook. Important part is the shin to shin. When he does this, what I'm gonna do I'm just gonna hug with the same hand. Scoot off to get a little bit of an angle. And fold this to my chest. My other hand is gonna block. You can either block the head or I'm gonna block this far hip. For now we'll just go with the head. From here I'm gonna stay in a ball, roll to my side. Once I'm on my side, he's light on this leg. I shoot up, wrap around. My hand just hooks. The important part here is I need to keep my butt up. Get my butt up in the air. This foot is under the butt, this foot's on the hip. Knees together and they go out. From here, my easy way out. Let go of the leg, but keep it tight. Hand on the floor, control the other knee. Leg comes out like a tentacle. Stand up. From another angle. Shin to shin, I'm going to hug. Open up to create my angle. Hold on tight. I'm gonna block the hip or the knee this time. Shoot up, wrap around. My hips are well off the ground. Very tight on his knees. If I want, I can grab an underhand palm grip on the pants. Don't necessarily need it when he's kneeling down. Hips up. Knees to the outside. He goes down. Block the knee. Let go so you'll have a free hand. Sweep the bottom leg like a tentacle. Stand up. And re-engage. Cool. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "Technical Stand Up - BJJ and Self Defense Technique - Kids Martial Arts" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoQN1XqsDj8 -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
