These all start from you pulling guard position on someone who is standing up. So say both of you are standing, you grab their gi and jump into guard with them standing.
Back Sweep
1. From Guard (and your opponent standing), you drop down onto your shoulders, letting your legs go.
2. As your knees pass their torso, bring them together and keep your feet on their back, toes facing inwards. This essentially means that they are trapped between your knees and feet.
3. Grab their legs behind the ankle (thus trapping them) and thrust your hips up (therefore pushing your knees into them).
4. This should make them stumble backwards and fall onto their back. Once they are on their back, grabbing their lapel and drag yourself up into Mount position.
This works exactly the same without the Gi. I’ve noticed that this one is really good as well for when people are trying to stand up in your guard, you can usually get them in the transition period and reverse the positions.
Front Sweep
1. From Guard (and your opponent standing), grab your opponent’s gi sleeves and drop down onto your shoulders, letting your legs go.
2. Bracing your feet on their stomach (toes in or out), pull their weight over you with your grip and flip them over your head.
3. Maintain grips and follow them as they fall over onto their back so you end up in Mount position.
This one seems to rely more on Gi, though you could probably do it with grabbing wrists, it would be difficult, especially as everything tends to be slippery.
Variation sweep 1 – Hand stand sweep
1. From Guard (and your opponent standing), drop down onto your shoulders. Slightly lower yourself by loosening your legs a bit, but don’t let them go. Your hip should be approximately in line with their knee.
2. Hook your right arm behind their left leg from the inside so the inside of your elbow is on their ankle.
3. Put your left hand next to your head with fingers facing down and push to the side. This will force their knee to bend and trip them onto the floor.
4. Grab their lapel and drag yourself into Mount position.
Variation Sweep 2 – Knee binding sweep variant
1. From Guard (and your opponent standing), grab your opponent’s gi sleeves(?) and drop down onto your shoulders, letting your legs go.
2. Allow your legs to spread into a V as you drop and bring them together again in closed guard at a point just above their knees, forcing their knees together.
3. From there, it’s just a matter of tripping them down to the side. Use your legs around their legs to move up to Mount position.
Practice practice practice!
