Guard: Sweep from Leg Work Position

From an open guard (feet on hips) if your opp pushes your knees to the side and you go the leg work position (one shin across stomach and the other around the head)

1. As your opp reaches across your body towards your shoulder grab his sleeve with your outside hand and hold his hand by your hip

2. Your inside hand either reaches under his knee or grabs his pant leg

3. Striaghten your leg to push your opp away

As he pushes back into you....

4. Lift his leg over his head for the sweep

You will end up with knee on belly and your other leg over his head. From there you take that leg and move it to the other side of his head and stay at knee on belly - Your hand position should be; bottom hand on collar and top hand on sleeve pulling his arm up
