You come up initially to then pull your partner onto you, which brings them up onto your knee and makes it more difficult for them to resist. Otherwise, they can settle back on their knees. <BR/><BR/>However, always best to go with your instructor on technique, rather than random vids on the net: I'm sure they have good reason for teaching it the way they do. ;)slideyfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374174757753962274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686190490065146472.post-14028489026461681052008-09-09T14:35:00.000-07:002008-09-09T14:35:00.000-07:00I think I came across that video on youtube actual...I think I came across that video on youtube actually. I saw that after he gets the grips and his knee in, he gets up on his elbow. I haven't learned that, so I didn't link to that one. Is that something you were taught? He also came up nose to nose with the guy, and that was a point I was going to touch upon, about not doing that...anyways, you get my point lol I'm curious about the elbow part though. I'm going to try and remember that for tomorrow night and ask my instructor about it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for those links, very much appreciated :)Mike O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01866800247104191172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686190490065146472.post-52913487904343725902008-09-07T02:46:00.000-07:002008-09-07T02:46:00.000-07:00Another video for the scissor sweep here - bit mor...Another video for the scissor sweep <A HREF="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=7388171110552686021&q=BJJ+sweep" REL="nofollow">here</A> - bit more in-depth, though still succinct. The Submissions 101 vid shows the basic technique but misses some important details (for example, pulling them up towards you once you have the shin in their stomach: that disrupts their base and makes them easier to sweep). Though I guess that's kind of the point of Sub101: quick vids.<BR/><BR/>I'd recommend <A HREF="http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?emb=0&q=abhaya+bjj#q=abhaya%20bjj%20-tournament%20-demonstration%20-vs%20-match&emb=0&start=20" REL="nofollow">Abhaya</A> as probably the best first port-of-call for vids. Roy Dean is also really good: check him out on <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=uchideshi" REL="nofollow">YouTube</A>.<BR/><BR/>Aesopian also has some great stuff on that particular sweep, <A HREF="http://www.aesopian.com/7/stupid-simple-scissors-sweep/" REL="nofollow">here</A>.slideyfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374174757753962274noreply@blogger.com
