Guard: Scissor Sweep Option 2

From your guard if you are going for the scissor sweep and your opp keeps his weight back you can use this reversal to sweep him back the other way...

1. Reach your right hand across to your opp's right collar as deep as possible (4 finger grip)

2. Your left hand reaches across and grabs 4 fingers in the left sleeve of your opp

3. Drop your right foot to the floor and hip out to the left side - Bringing your right shin across his belly and your left leg flat on the floor (typical scissor sweep set up)

But your opp has his weight back so you can not pull him forward...

4. Let go with your right hand and reach around your opp's back and grab his lat....as you post up on your left elbow

Because you are pulling his left arm his body he has no post to stop himself from being pulled the opposite way of the scissor sweep....

5. Pull him back towards your right side as you lift your right leg....you will end up in side mount
