Marcio Feitosa -Open Guard Sweep Sequence


Some great details and concepts in this clip in dealing with someone standing with grips on your shins, isolating an arm and then setting up the basic tripod sweep from open guard. This is then repeated and turned into a partner drill. Also interesting is letting go of the arm once sweep is completed, instead of hanging on as usual, to stop the other person re-establishing their base and recovering position. Notice how Feitosa posts on his own elbow and foot and then stands with the foot he has control of only when the other person attempts to sit up. This would be a great sequence to drill.
